I have one tegu that smells around her head area. She gets food and mulch dust and well...gunk...caked in the corners of her mouth. She's pretty gentle, so I just take a moist paper towel and clean around her jowl wrinkles and really get into the corners of her mouth. It's pretty nasty. If she's in the tub, I'll use just a tad of ivory soap for her wrinkles.

Huh? Wrinkles?
