I also know people who have dedicated entire rooms to there iggy's. Some just have a very large viv for night and let them roam most of the day!

They have wardrobe sized screen cages you can put out in your porch, if I find the pic I'm thinking of I'll put it up, but they're always on ebay if you check out the cage/tank section.

well... ahh, this is going to make me miss my iggy...
The enclosure was about 3'x3'x5' built out of wood with mesh screens, I picked it up for $100 from a guy who used to do iggy rescue but got out of it. My iggy spent his first few months in a 55 gallon then got moved into this enclosure. It worked fine for the entire time I had him (3 years*)
Here he was as a lil baby...

here was the enclosure, you can see him hanging out under the light at top right... NOTE - the heat rock is NOT plugged in, I cut the cord, just decoration... and the pie dish was leftover from a feeding lol, no other pics that show the full enclosure tho.

There was UVB lighting at his shelf, basking light, a heat mat and large kitty litter box on the bottom (for soaking and the daily poo lol) and of course lots of branches etc. I used shelving paper on the ledges and shelves, easy to clean!
He got fed twice a day, some greens, fruits, veggies in the morn and then a collard green salad for snack:

Here is Wasabi in all his glory before I had to give him up*


My dream was to build the enclosure seen in the Iguana Manual


*I had him for 3 years, then got with my current b/f in 2000, he moved in and said Wasabi had to move out, he hated him freeroaming, said he was dirty (sometimes he didn't use his water tub...) blah blah blah. I spent 4 months and finally found a new home for him with a couple that had an iggy for 12 yrs that had just died. SO... sad for me but at least Wasabi got a good home.

I don't have any decent pictures of mine. (My iggy isn't quite full grown, but his cage is built for a full grown adult). It's 4.5'x4'x6' and diamond shaped to fit in a corner. I used hardware cloth. His door is a good 3'x3'x3', I believe, so we have access to all parts of his cage. He has an upper shelf for basking, a hammock for hanging out on, and a PVC pipe wound in rope for climbing up to the upper level. He has a soaking dish and some grapevine in the bottom, and a water dish and his food dish in the top. His UVB lights (a 2' and a 3') are mounted inside his cage and his shelf is adjustable so we can lower it as he grows. He has two heat lamps and a CHE on timers; the lamps go on at 7am an off at 7pm and the CHE goes on at 7pm and off at 7am. Even though he has his own cage, he also pretty much has his own room. We use a human humidifier to keep the humidity between 60-80%, which is good because the hardware cloth doesn't keep any heat in. I lined the floor and shelf with linoleum, which was cheap to buy (remnants) and is easy to clean.

If you want some great plans for building an iguana viv, get "Green Iguana: The Ultimate Owner's Manual" second edition by James Hatfield III. It has an appendix with pictures and detailed instructions on how to build 'the ultimate iguana habitat'. We plan on building it for Xander when we finally manage to buy our own home.

Man...I wish someone lived around Atlanta who needs an Iggy cage. I have a nice one. It's wire mesh on a wood frame... 5x2x6. Old age finally got the better of Godzilla who was over 15 years old when she died last month. her cage is on my carport, free to a good home.
