Commercially-Made
Reptile Enclosures
Before
buying, or even looking, at enclosures, check out my Standard
Tank Size and Reptile Enclosures:
Size, Dimension and Lifestyle articles. What may sound
like a large enclosure that will last a lifetime may well
just last a year - or less - especially for rapidly growing
iguanids like green iguanas. Before you place an order,
be sure to do the math!
The Bean Farm now carries Custom Cage's Iguana enclosures. They are not large enough for an iguana over 3-4 feet STL, but the largest will give you a bit of breathing space until you have to build your own or an extension. Sites selling plans and enclosures include Cages By Design and Keith Van Zile's Lizardcages.com (and be sure to read his article, Lizard Luxury).
