Ok. So i decided im gonna get an iguana. But Im not sure which route to go when they get big. I have a 4ft longX1 1/2 ft wideX2 ft high. Now i can build my own cage or i can buy one. If i build it is there a sight that has a diagram or something? If i buy it what is the best one to get?
And yes be4 you ask i have had lizards be4. And yes i am sure i want an iguana.
my bearded dragon died monday. Im not ready to get an iguana just yet i just want to get prepared.
one thing i guess i should have thought of. I need to find room in my house for that big a cage. I knew they needed big cages but i wasnt thinking of where to put it. Ill have to go around and measure some places.
When I had an iguana I housed it in a 4x3x2 custom cage that my uncle build but that was 8 years ago. He was about 3 ½ feet long and that cages gave him decent mobility. Every site that offers diagrams and cage plans usually charge for them. http://www.reptile-cage-plans.com/?gclid =CO_a0bu734sCFSMKGgod-xcocw this site charges around $30 for the plans, but I’ve never seen the plans so couldn’t recommend. I house my reptiles in vision cages. Most site carry legit cages for iguanas. If your going to make I home made cage I would suggest 4x3x2, that cage I had allowed him to grow stay mobile. Making a home made cage is harder then it looks, well the cage really isn’t hard to but making it reptile friendly and safe is hard. I would go with the store cages pre-made with less hazel; you can pick a nice cage up for around $220 little more than the materials cost to build your own. http://www.nextag.com/iguana-cage/search -html I would do that if it’s the first cage you’ve ever built save the frustration and spend the each cash to get it set up right. Also make should the iguana gets ample protein and sun light/UV iguanas tend to suffer from MBD if not house or feed correctly. Whatever you do, research on both subject cages and iguana care. Good luck.

Iguanas inhabit the forests of Central and South America and the Caribbean Islands. They inhabit trees growing near bodies of water in the deep jungle. They prefer adjacent to water sources as a form of defense from predators. There, they can be seen basking on large horizontal tree limbs or feeding amount the foliage. Iguanas are intensely territorial so no more than a single large male will be found in a specific area encompassing about a quarter to a half-acre in size. In captivity, cage size is often not much longer than 1.5 times the iguana’s length. This exemplifies how adaptable these creatures really are. The size of their cage must consider that iguanas grow to as big as 6 feet in length. These lizards must be given ample space to move about and allow them to grow freely. Regular iguana cages must be around 6 feet tall with its width twice as long. This size gives room also for branches of trees where the iguanas could stay and play around. As a rule, the width of the cage must be always twice the height. If the cage size is small for the full potential of the iguana, its growth will be impeded and even injure them due to stress, muscle strain and weakness. It will also promote build up of fat and eventually make them stagnant, weak and prone to sickness. Room temperature that must be observed must be 80 to 95 degrees Fahrenheit. The basking temperature they need from the sun ranges from 90 to 95 degrees Fahrenheit while the regular air temperature they are accustomed is no lower than 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Being cold blooded reptiles, they need that much heat. It is part of their normal body metabolism especially their digestive system. Without the proper surrounding temperature, iguanas will not be able to digest their food properly and trigger to cause illness which may compound to more health issues eventually. Iguanas like other animals do sleep. Therefore it is necessary that his surroundings be able to provide total darkness during the night without jeopardizing the required temperature. It is necessary to replicate iguanas’ natural habitat to ensure their survival in their protective artificial homes. Before deciding to keep an iguana, acquire first the knowledge about its biophysical anatomy, healthcare, eating traits and food requirements. Lastly and most important, learn the basics of its surroundings and provide an accurate replication of its natural environment.
