something wrong with iguana's mouth

Posted by Cheyenne on April 21, 2001 at 11:27:02:

I had noticed quite a while back that my 46 inch long, male, green iquana had formed a brownish lump on the side of his upper lip on one side. I kept an eye on it and over the last few months it has grown larger and spread to his lower lip and it is also, now, on the other side of his face, too. It is a brownish color and it looks painful, like some kind of a scab. I also beleve that it must itch because my iguana sometimes rubs his mouth against objects inside his cage. He is still eating just fine and drinking his water as normal. I don't know what is wrong. Perhaps someone could give me an idea? I would be most greatfull.

Thank you.
Chey
