Many people think that iguanas are dirty creatures.
This is not true. The fact is, green iguanas are very clean animals, they just sometimes have dirty owners and filthy cages. Along with proper hygiene and cleanliness, regularly bathing or soaking is a necessity. Regular bathing and soaking will help in keeping the iguana clean, help in shedding and help clean off any food or feces that may be on it. An iguana soaking in water may also defecate shortly after entering the water.
