: Fairs better living outide in the natural sun and fresh air.
: From chucks, to beardeds, to monitors, crocodilians, and yes, iguanids too!
: If u live where it is warm enough, its the best thing you can do for your animal.
Hey thanks for the info.
: Wire mesh, preferably palstic/rubber coated, would replace glass of course, or a high wall of bricks or cement.

: Now for Spiny Tails.........

: they are not the nicest in temperament, and u have to work harder to tame them. They are however, imprssive animals, and their care is similar to green igs. They do however, need animal protein once in a while, though some still debate on this.

: They get half as long as green igs, but have formidable teeth and jaws! The tail, being spiny, is another thing to keep in mind.

: If u play your cards right, they can be rewarding animals. The fact that they're smaller makes them easier to house (an enclosure of 7'L, 5'W, and 7+'H is the best). And since u want to go with outdoors design, its even easier!

: Good luck, and let us know anything else that's on your mind! At the ctenosaura forum they're quiet helpful. Mark M. is the pro there, and a professional breeder as well!

: c-ya!

: : I've heard of people keeping Spiny-Tailed Iguanas outdoors.
: : Anybody heard of this? I've never kept Spiny-Tails are they good captives?
