You can use tweezers to remove bits of dead skin, or help apply bandages when you don t want to use your fingers. Hopefully, everyone knows what these are. A small pair of sharp scissors can be bought anywhere. A pair of sharp scissors are useful for trimming bandages, cutting tape, etc. If you use regular adhesive tape on your iguana, you take the chance of damaging scales when you remove the tape.
Paper tape is a thin sheet of paper fibers with a low stick adhesive backing.
They are sold in the bandage section of your pharmacy. When your iguana has injured itself and it needs to have a bandage taped in place, or have toes taped together, you use the paper tape. You can, if necessary, apply stronger tape over the paper tape, making sure it does not touch the iguana itself. Use whichever type works best for you. Generally, this tape is used over something else that is on the iguana, such as over a gauze pad that is totally wrapped around a leg, or over paper tape or self-stick tape to make it more secure.
