espirrar é perfeitamente normal
Sneezing - Iguanas do not sweat like we do, but they have to expell salt somehow and that's how...they sneeze it out. There may be white crusty stuff around his nose and all over the cage which are salt crystals that it expelled when it sneezed. This is normal and nothing to worrry about. However, if your iguana sneezes excessively, i.e. more than just a few times a day, it may be getting too much sodium in its diet. Also, if sneezing is accompanied by wheezing, coughing or gaping of the mouth, this is indicative of a respiratory disorder and needs the attention of a herp vet.
