The Iguana Cage Page
I am frequently asked what kinds of enclosures are suitable for iguanas, indoors and out. In response, I have created this page to show what kinds of cages I have found to work best for myself and for others. Some of the photos are of cages I have built, and others are simply scanned images of advertisements in magazines. All represent good foundations on which you can create your own iguana cage.
The menu to the left of your screen will link you to information about each cage I have decided to include. The descriptions below will give you a little overview of what you will see when yo follow each of those links.
Note that no iguana will be happy sitting in a cage for its entire life. All of the cages shown here are used in conjunction with free-roaming time and plenty of human interaction.
