A Comment Regarding Sharp Claws

                -------------------------------



Iguanas are usually quite docile and enjoy handling.  You,

however, may not always enjoy the activity because of the

scratches inflicted by sharp claws, powered by very strong

limbs.  An iguana's claws should be periodically dulled by an

experienced veterinarian or veterinary technician.  A cautery

instrument or high-speed grinding tool is usually employed for

this task.
