Depends on diet. As a general rule, herbivore dung doesn't reek as potently because most vegetation has little odor. Carnivores usually have more pungent stools. Kodo's poop smells either like rotting carrion or the backside of fisherman's wharf (if he's been eating silversides). He is not only the smelliest reptile I've worked with, he's one of the smelliest animals of any taxa I've worked with. Seriously, you could asphyxiate a cape buffalo with a baggie of tegu droppings. That being said, tegus are magical lizards and make fantastic pets.
