Caging your large iguana

Ideal iguana cage (inexpencive)

Buying cages for adult iguanas is extremely expensive, and unnecessary, you can build a cage that your iguana will be perfectly happy in. One thing you should know about building your cage is that it obviously should be pretty big, about 6 feet tall and 4-6 feet wide and 3 or 4 feet deep. also there should be at least one side with plywood walls to keep in moisture, the best is three sides plywood, then have the front be one giant door. You will need to put in a basking spot for your iguana also. The bottom should be tile so urine and feces can be cleaned up easily. If you fallow these guidelines and do a little more research, your iguana will be safe and sound in his new cage in no time.

I like your cage, I need to build one for my iguana Spike. my last Iguana, Lucky lived to be almost 20 years old, but he didn't live in a cage because he was friendly and used a cat litter box filled with water as a bathroom, Spike is a bit more aggressive so he needs his own space.
