Hello guys.....I took my eyes off for a few seconds from my iguana, and I caught him eating a pretty big hair band (no metalic parts- just the elastic) and I couldn't reach it to took it out of his mouth.
It will come out as poo ? This thing happened 25 hours ago.
If your iguana stops pooping.. Vet time.. I'd give it a few days. I am not entirely sure if a rubber band would do it, but its possible that if it gets bound in the intestines it could literally wrap around the intestines and cause damage/blockage of the intestines.
If you don't see the band in his poo this week, get the vet to xray. You may be in for a little surgery to save your little buddy. The elastic won't disintegrate in his gut.
