What Merlin said about picking them up while sleeping has always worked for me, my ig runs away at lightspeed at any other time. Either a bit after your lights go out or in the morning before you turn them on are good times to try.

Heres What Ive Been Giving Her.and a few pics of her.

I recognize the first green (red stem) as swiss chard and the second as bok choy but I'm not so sure what the large leaf is.

Is that a yam too? My iguana likes yams and sweet potatoes in addition to squash.

She's a pretty girl, what do you have on the floor pf her cage?

Thanks its sweet potato she loves it.On the floor of her cage is forrest bedding bourght from a pet shop near me she loves digging around and going underneath it.Its totaly non toxic and iggy safe.It comes compressed in a block and you just soak it in water its great for holding moisture and keeping the viv humid.The only thing I need to do in her Viv is finish her fake rock wall which I am working on.

So what are the dimensions of the cage? You might not want to put a ton of work into a cage that is going to be too small in a few months.
Since she's got a more complete diet she might have a growth spurt on you.

I started my little itty bitty iguana in a cage that was 4 x 4 x 6 feet tall. (1.22m x 1.22m x 1.83m) and after 2 years it was definitely too small. This winter we upgraded him to a 6ft wide, 4ft deep, 5ft tall cage (on a 3ft base) (1.83m x 1.22m x 1.52m) and it is wonderful, it will definitely fit him the rest of his life.

Here are a few links to my cage building process:

Its Defo Not big enough I hav'nt got enough room for a massive one but I would like to have her free roam round the house like my last iggy did Ive spoke to loads of people who have got a free roamer but what I cant understand is if they live in your house and not in a viv I thourght they have to have humidity.I seen this one girl who just had a blanket on the floor and a heat lamp shining on it.Would that be ok Because I want to have a log in the corner of my living room with a heat lamp shining on it and her food and water pots under it

Her Viv is only 3 and a half ft long,3 and a half ft Tall,1 and a half ft wide.

What should I Do????????.

I find that making the cage longer was a great thing for him. He still free roams when someone is home, but he really prefers to stay in his cage or at least in the reptile room.

With a cage so narrow she's going to run into problems turning around.

Could you make a larger cage and put storage space under it so it's not just a huge space hog?

Remember if your iguana is going to free roam you need to keep the ambient temperature of your house higher to keep the iguana comfortable.

A blanket on the floor wouldn't be ideal, iguanas feel more secure up high. Maybe you could built something similar to a cat tree and suspend the lights from the ceiling.

Also think about potty training so the iguana doesn't destroy your carpet.

As for humidity, if you don't mind the extra humidity in your room, whichever room he will be in, you may be able to find a cheap humidifier you would use for a baby room, just be sure to screen the exhaust port off, it will get pretty hot.
I think there's a post on here about using one of these.

She already is potty trained so thats one prob I dont have to worry about.I just dont think I have the space for a bigger viv I have a 5month old baby(she is my daddy's little girl)aswell with all her stuff Ill have to have a think and see where I might be able to build one.

Thanks

Make it a bunk bed, baby on bottom, iguana on top.

You might look into corner cages, they give the appearance of taking up less space.
