iguana's new home

hay all as you all know I have just adopted an iguana and she has come with enclosure, I feel it is way to small so I have cleared out a closet in my house and put reptile carpet down and put some large peices of drift wood in then I made a temp. frame to fit inside the door and put plastic chicken wire in it I know I need to do somthing better, so my question is what would be a cheap and healthy envirament for shi-shi aka tubby

Chicken wire is a bad choice all around, you should really take that out and replace it with something like hardware cloth....if you can find the pvc coated stuff that would be best. Alot of people use plastic mesh too.
Chicken wire is sharp and can slice off toes or carve off peices of snout if she rubs on it.

Mike, that plastic mesh should be fine.

I'm not really sure I understood your question. Do you mean besides that closet? Are you going to need it back? =)

I think he builds them on order. Send him a pm to see if he does and how much he charges for them.
