I just bought my iguana (haven't named her yet) from the pet store two days ago. Right now she is in a twenty gallon tank and hardly has enough room to move being that she is nearly 3 feet long (from snout to end of tail). I only keep her in it at night so I don't feel too bad about it. Anyway...what kind of cage should i build and what works best ( glass, wire, etc...) and how much is it going to cost me? I was planning on making a 6 foot tall dresser type thing with dimensions of 6 ft tall x 5 feet wide x 4 feet deep. Is this big enough so i won't have to replace it when she gets full grown? I plan to let her out frequently.

well, we are waiting to hear what you guys have done and found to work best.

PS. she is very friendly and seems almost tame. Is this common? I take her out of the cage and at first she spazzes out but then hops on my shoulder and goes to sleep. She hasn't bitten me, although she does open her mouth slightly sometimes as if she is about to. She does whip her tail at me but not often.
