If this is the product that I'm thinking of everyone is right on this. "Iguana Baths" are supposedly designed to both keep an iguana's skin conditioned as well as helping ensure "proper hydration" of the ig. Problem with this is that iguana skin is not porous to the point that it will allow moisture to passs though it. I think we actually tried some of this stuff a year ago and all we got out of it we a very fragrant, slippery lizard.
Clear water baths are definitely the way to go. If you become concerned that skin patches are becoming too dry or if shedding becomes an issue you can always rub the concerning areas with mineral oil.....
