From Allen: Hi Tesa, after soaking the iguana in the bath for 1.5 hours he went poo. After taking him out half of the thing fell off. I have included pictures. What is it?? Half is still on him. Can you post this for me?? And also thanks to everyone.

Looks like a plain old plug to me, too. The pics aren't very clear, but the plug looks pretty distinguishable. If you can get the one more pic everyone is asking for...this would clinch it.
Is your boy eating o.k.? What do you feed him? (specifics please) What do you use for a UVB source? What are the temperatures? (basking area, cool end, ambient)
These could all have a bearing on how often he poops. If we can narrow it down to one of these questuions...then the fix will be easy.

Very yucky! I have a very precocious 1 1/2 years male, who had an almost incipient breeding season, but a breeding season non the less, last fall: orangish, bigger waxy stuff in the femoral pores, meaner and of course those yucky "cheesy filaments" spread on most of his hanging surfaces in the terrarium. Once he protruded a whitish filament. Assuming it wasn't actually a body part I pulled it out very carefully, and then came another just like the first one. Very tiny. No stress there. But after seeing the picks here and following the link IK posted... the pics totally grossed me out. If that is what I have to look forward to... oh well! but still... Double yuck!

Well not to sound gross, but I am amazed by this stuff! i have a male Iggy and he is 7 years old and I have never seen him with a plug or even seen his "private" stuff. It is very interesting to see. I guess that I just have one heck of a modest male Iggy. LOL I also have the 2 females and we have had more medical problems with them than we have had with our male Iggy. I never cease to learn something new with every post that I read. Debbie Iggy Bam-Bam and Miss Zak

i'm glad to hear this Debbie. I have seen one plug from Narcy (in fact that is when i finally quit insisting he was a female!) and he has never 'flashed' me. I was beginning to think maybe he had something wrong with his manly parts. . . .thought maybe that was what made him so darned mean! Guess this in not so unusual.
