Can Not Move his back Leg

[alireza]

Hi
Unfortunatley I had noticed today that my Iguana cant move one of his back legs.He Just drags it on the ground and trys not to put it on the ground.and there is no sign of pain in him.he eats and drinks and lays in the basking area like every other day.I can not take him to vet because there is just one herpotologist that I know in my city and he is not here right now.what should I do?

Why do you say there is no sign of pain in him? Dragging the leg and not allowing it to touch the ground could BE a sign of pain! If you hurt your foot do you not favor it and walk lightly?

This is a situation where you need to see a vet! This could be a number of things and only a vet will be able to sort out which is which! Any vet can do an x-ray to at least rule out a broken bone.
