    What's the best way to get spines to shed that are stuck on? I have pulled some off but am only willing to pull so hard and I've got a few that just don't want to come off. Thanks for any help!! ;)

    Mist your iguana with warm water from a spray bottle once or twice a day, and you can gently massage the stuck spines with some warm water or a water-based lubricant (like an aloe gel or KY Jelly). Warm baths (chest-deep on your ig) in the tub also help stuck skin loosen up.
