Wheezing iguana

Hi everyone. I'm new to this site. I found it in search to see if I can figure out if my iguana has a cold. He has been wheezing and sneezing (it seems like) for a day and a half now. Is there anything that can help him? He is 5 years old. 3 and a half feet long. We live in Florida. I had to go out of town on a family emergency for a few weeks and he was fine when we left. He has made that sneezing noise in the past and it has cleared up on its own. But I was just wondering if there was anything that could help him. Thanks. Pie

Re: Wheezing iguana

Is the sneezing and wheezing constant or just an occassional sneeze?
Does there seem to be an excess of mucus or bubbling in its mouth?

Re: Wheezing iguana

Could the sneezing be snorting and could the wheezing be that hissing sound they make form the air sacks in their necks? Or does he do that too and this sneezing and wheezing is different? I'm just thinking if you hadn't seen him hiss or snort before you might easily think something was wrong. And sometimes they get mad or upset when their owners go away and hiss or snort to show their displeasure.
