: : My question to you experts is: I was told that it is more important for an ig to have height to his enclosure than to have length. Our enclosure is about 6 1/2 ft. high by 4ft. long. There are different levels for climbing and a warm area for basking and a cooler area when she is in the mood. She seems happy but is growing rapidly so am thinking about enlarging her living quarters. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

: I heard 1 and 1/2 times length of the IG, 1 times the height, and 2/3 times the width.
: So 5ft IG would need 7.5 long, 5 high, approx 3.5 wide?
: This cage would basically be a sleeping and when your at work cage, any IG this size needs to be let
: out to roam as much as possible. Just my .02, I'm new to this myself, just what I've been told and read!

hi my male iguana is 3feet long will be 2years old this june his cage is 4feet long by 5feet high 2feet wide im eventually gonna have to make his cage bigger . in a book called the green iguana the ultimate owners manual the guy in the book built a cage for his male iguana 8feet long 7feet high 2feet wide. to give you some idea do you believe that somebody on this web site had 2 iguanas 2years old in a 55gallon tank together . then the guy wanted to know why he was having trouble with his pets i told him the tank was to small for 1 iguana let alon 2 . either build one yourself you can contact www.cagesbydesign.com they see plans to build a cage the plans are $19.95 and they tell you exactly what and how much you need of supplies. to buy so you dont have to go cazy when you go to the store youll have everyting in front of you on paper you need to purchase. try selling the cage you have to get some money or add on to it if possible to make it bigger .
