Cage Suggestions
Okay so the time has come for me to build a larger enclosure for my iggy. He is 44 inches so i'm looking to make this one comfortable enough for him once he is full grown. I was just wondering if you guys could post some pix of your ig enclosures so I can get ideas as to what I want. I let my father build the last enclosure with out my say and I am less than pleased with it. Any suggestions and pix would be great!
THANK YOU ALL! Lacey |

One of the simplest most cost effective cages I have see of late are built by Mark one our members, utilizing PVC and fabrics. They are functional and collapsable so they can be packed up and moved.

That is a possibility, but where I live it is cool and dry so I'm not so sure about the heating and humidity...Do you still think I would be able to provide the right levels of both without ending up with mold growing on my walls from the humidifier? Just curious, thanks a bunch!

There is a link in my sig to a bunch of photos of cages I have built (I left the front off many photos for glare reasons from the flash but the fronts zip open).

Iguanas need a lot of room, and Mark's design is, by far, the most cost-effective way to provide for their needs and provide enough space for them to stretch. They're also the most portable and efficient PVC-based enclosures I've ever seen.
If you want to see what happens when an iguana lover goes mad, here's my iguana enclosure. |

Okay thanks for all of your suggestions...I still don't know about the whole pvc thing, but it has been taken into consideration. I've drawn up a lot of plans and i'll be sure to post some pix once I have it finished...if I ever can decide exactly how I want it....curse my perfectionism!

But it also needs adequate ventilation. Even the most hot humid sticky jungle has air flow. Without good air exchange your enclosure will get really nasty inside!

Yeah the enclosure that I have now has a screen top and screen door on the front and two ventilation pannels on the sides, but it is really hard to keep it humid. I need to figure it out how I am going to do that before I move my other iggy into the cage. The humidifier helps, but not enough. I dunno, i'll have to figure it out. Maybe i'll just humidify my whole room and deal with the scum that grows on my walls.
