From what I can see it is a section of skin that hasn't shed yet, but will soon. Give daily soaks in a tub of lukewarm water and it shouldn't be long before it come off.

Yes, looks like a shed will happen soon. Sometimes my igs lose a sheet of skin from their sides or bellies. It looks and feels really rough from the bigger iguanas.....

Yup, just skin, but i'm glad you are alert enough to be concern over any changes you see...make sure to keep the humidity up, it makes shedding so mch easier on them!

Indeed! Good observation of changes in your pet will go along way toward keeping the animal healthy and possibly heading off a potentially large vet bill down the road!

Here is my problem.My little guy is still rowdy.He is letting me get closer to him,but I still cant pick him up yet.I have been misting him with warm water a couple times a day since I posted this thread.Will that work since he wont let me pick him up and soak him in water.He has a large water dish so i'm hoping that will work far as a bath goes.I dont know what else to do for the fact that he is still pretty wild.

Misting him should work fine. Just do it several times a day.
