Yes....but first, how big is the iguana? Is it just a baby? If so, your terrarium will be ok for now, but plan on getting one alot bigger in the near future. You will need to get rid of the wood chips (ig's can easily swallow them causing real damage). Use paper towel or that fake grass carpet you get at hardware stores. I use paper towel myself, and it works great. Real easy to clean. You will also need a basking light. Regular household lightbulb will do. The wattage will depend on what you need to keep a basking area around 95 degrees. You can put the bulb in one of those cone-shaped fixtures. You will also need a UVB "tube" light mounted in one of those hood-type tops. This will get you started, however I recommend you check out the website below and read, read, read!! :) Also, this web site is much simpler to go through (not so wordy) and gets you prepared for your new friend quickly.
