I agree with them. Obviously in the wild they do not have nice lino flooring, or carpeting, or whatever.

I somehow doubt that there is a vast quantity of iguanas dying in the wild from impaction. (unless it really isn't predators that kill all those iggy babies - it's bark!!..ummm no)

It should also be obvious to anyone who has kept any reptiles for some time, that natural behaviours are suppressed when kept in small enclosures. Stress does many weird things to reptiles, and even though we may not see it, it doesn't mean that it is not a cause in bizzarre eating habits.
