Well as you can probably guess by the title, my tegu decided to escape and crawl through some insulation.
For those of you who don't know, insulation contains fiber glass fragments. I rescued him, and gave him a warm bath, with water and about 5% betadine solution (the water was a tea color). Luckily his skin was shedding, so I am pretty sure he is glass free. I took him to the vet, and the said he was fine. I am posting this to get advice on this situation for further reference for myself and others. If you have any advice, please let me/us know.
