Question Confused Surprised Exclamation Embarassed Sad Question Rolling Eyes

will my iguanas spine pop back in? my little brother was pulling on one of his large spines and it "popped" up.. its still conected to his body, but its like popped up.. i feels likes its disconected from his spine. i cant tell if its gonna fll off or not. has anyone ever heard of this? at the base it looks almost like a open wound because its moist and very fleshy, unlike his skin. i cant tell whats gonna happen here.. ANY IDEAS????

i know the spine wont grow back if it falls off. Question Confused Surprised Exclamation Embarassed Sad Question Rolling Eyes

You need to get him to a vet.
Here is a very good one who is VERY highly recommended for iguanas in your area.

a vet would be a waste of money.. if its gonna fall off its gonna fall off... all they would do is give him antibiotics.. which he dosent need.. Wink
