Good nutrition and keeping lizards and snakes within their POTZ will decrease the incidence of maternal causes of dystocia. Iguanas housed in enclosures at least 2m high and can climb up and down for eating appear to have fewer incidences of dystocia. The best prevention for dystocia is neutering. However, the adrenals must be avoided since they are suspended in the mesorchium or mesovarium
