If a marine iguana were to spend a few days in a freshwater tank, it would likely stop blowing salt droplets from its nostrils. This is because marine iguanas have specialized glands that excrete excess salt, which they primarily use when they consume seawater. In a freshwater environment, there would be no need to expel salt, as they wouldn't be taking in excess salt from their surroundings.
