Hi Matt..and welcome here's a few sites to help you on your way. Caging prices vary...Expect somewhere in the $300.oo range if do it yerselfing for materials & access. if yer the handy type OR if yer a cheapo like me!! look for used enclosures $50-$100 in local newspapers, online classifieds etc. Give em a good bleach & water scrub down BEFORE you let yer ig in it tho...even IF looks clean.

For Caging ideas including some plans: Glenn Merrills Iguana Cage Page is THEE best!! http://www.geocities.com/Petsburgh/Haven/6333

For converting closets to iguana enclosures: Iguana Online Newsletter Check July 1999 articles ...click "PREVIOUS ARTICLES" category on the left side:
http://www.iguana-news.com/

For caging/building troubleshooting and advice:
Kingsnake Caging Forum: http://www.kingsnake.com/forum/caging/

Realize that taming is a very long process and even once tame...there will be setbacks...then the process begins all over again altho not as long to get them back (unless yer talking breeding season aggression then All is lost!! j/k). Expect 9-12 months to get where your ig will trust you. Establishing a routine for handling is helpful.Since she is new...try not to handle her too much the first few days-2 weeks. Maybe about 10 minutes DAILY...then up the daily time you handle her each week or two. Calm, soothing voice, low & slow approaches.

For taming techniques and general iguana care:
Iguanaden (Kevin Egan Site), MK site, Jen Swofford site, Iguana Care 101 (Tricia Powers site), Adam Brittons Site....and on and on and on iguana care pages a dime a dozen....some better than others....whatever works for you...May also want to invest in : James Hatfield's Ultimate Iguana Owners Manual...has a ton of helpful info...around $25-30.00 major bookstores.
Can't find the webring I usually use right now...with ALL the links on Iguanas...but this one might help with some of the main Iguana Care websites ...
