Answer 1

First, you hardly ever see iguanas drink, they get most of their fluids from their foods, so thats not a concern.

It sounds like he has a bacterial or viral infection. Keep him warm and clean, you probably should take him to a vet to get some medicin, but if you don't do that, get him some antibacterial medicin from a pet store, and use hydrogen peroxide and bedodine solution on the white blisters. Give him a varried diet of friut and vegtables, and IF he will eat them a few crickets, but in moderation, the protien is good, but don't give him too many
