Your iguana will be 4'-6' stl when full grown.

Guidlines are:
long- 1.5 to 2 times as long as stl.
wide- 0.5 to 1 times as long as stl.
tall- 1 to 1.5 times as long as stl.

You might want two cages, an indoor one and an outdoor one. Outdoor cages can be made easy and inexpense using the PVC metheod. The indoor cage would most likely use wood in the construction wheither it is wire or enclosed, so a good size would be 8'x4'x8' high (i can explain why if you want.) You also should look into free-roaming as another option for indoors. The outdoor cage would best be made as a multiple of 3 or 4 feet long and wide and 6 or 7 feet high (again I can explain why if you want.) Here's a few examples: 3'x6'x6' 4'x8'x6' 6'x18'x7' 8'x16'x7'
