When digital pressure is applied to the [[Lizard Eye|eyes]] of [[Lizard Classification|iguanids]] for a short period there is a decrease in heart rate and blood pressure which results in a state of torpor. Minor procedures such as radiography can then be performed. Noise or physical stimulation will arouse the iguana.
