First of all I would like to thank you guys for answering my previous question. Right now my Iguana is pretty small and I had a spare 30x15x12 aquarium which I know is too small for the iguana, but it will suffice for now. In a couple of weeks I will be building a bigger enclosure for the iguana. The space in my room is limited but I think I can design something that will work. I have approximately 5 and half feet long, 2 and half feet in depth, but the height is the tricky part. I have 4 feet in length that could go to 5 or 6 feet in height but the other foot and a half of length could only go to about 2 feet high due to a window in the way. I will attempt to draw a diagram to give you a better idea.

I hope the diagram works.
Will the enclosure be ok for it? I know it could be a little bigger but that's about all the space I have. Seeing as I'm on a budget what would you guys reccommend for the walls? Plexiglass, glass, or some sort of wire mesh? I was thinking maybe some nylon mesh which is softer than wire but it will still let a breeze through, plus it is pretty cheap. The back would be wood with several built in shelves with wood to support the mesh. Or I could do glass sides and it would look better but it would cost more. What do you guys think? Thanks for any answers, I know this was a long post :-)
