The first thing you need to do is take EVERYTHING out of the tank . Wash everything and put it back BUT do NOT put any BARK ( this would be my guess for the cause of this )or MOSS . Use paper towles or blank newspaper here is a test for substraight if you put some in your hands and rub it between them it you have anything left on your hand ( dust or little pieces ) this is a sign of what NOT to use . While Sneezing and snalt is normal if you hear a wheeze or clicking you should go to the vet asap . You should also make sure your branches are clean B4 you put them in your cage " Tank " . Just in case anybody is going to ask there is NOT bark on the ground where the live ( or very little ) the forest floor is a thin layer of leaves ( these are never exposed to light ( direct ) and they are always damp so the is very little to no dust . I do have a question . What is " Iguana food " ?? O yes you live way north as I do so even in the summer if you take him out make sure to check the WIND CHILL and not just the temp . Good luck and please come back and see us ..
