  Awww, Nova's not ewwy, Buffy. :P<br>Have you taken him to the vet about his eye irritation?<br>You can also buy things from Petco/Petsmart that might help, I use a vitamin spray that gives them all their vitamins, keeps their skin healthy, etc.

  I was going to take him to the vet last time, but then it all cleared up. Now it's coming back. Dx. I'll take a look at those vitamins, and contact a vet! Thanks Avla! *Huggles*

  <br><br>I use something similar to this (different brand though)<br><br><a href="http://www.petco.com/product/5017/Four-Paws-Nature-s-Reptile-Vita-Spray.aspx?CoreCat=OnSiteSearch"; target="_blank" class="bb-url">http://www.petco.com/product/5017/Four- ...

  I'm using a mineral supplement to dust his food every night and a calcium powder once weekly. It has D3, could that be what's causing it?

  <br><br>Doubt it, what brand are you using?<br>When was the last time he shed?

  Flukers for the Calcium. He shedded last about 3 weeks ago...

  When did the irritation come back up?<br>Sometimes reptiles get irritation around the eye after shedding.

  Come to think of it about a week and a half ago. I just gave him a bath to see if that would help.

  <br><br>Alright, so it most likely has to do with his shedding. xD<br>Just keep an eye on it to see if it goes down/heals.

  Will do! I'll probably monitor it for a while if it doesn't go down soon I'll call a vet. Thanks Avla!

  <br><br>No problem.<br>Oh, another tip (I don't know how much humidity Iguanas need) but low humidity levels can cause a shedding to go wrong.

  Already taken care of lol. I mist him daily with a misting bottle.
