Need help with heating the cage...

Posted by RachelS. on January 05, 2002 at 19:30:17:

I have a big 5'L x 3'W x 4'L cage for my 2 foot long male green iguana. I keep his cage in the garage and it gets so cold during the winter. I tried everything to get my parents to keep him inside in his cage but theys aid "no, iguanas smell!" But they let me take him in at night. So I had 2 100watt heat lamps on his cage plus his UV light. but what happends is he goes down to eat and gets too cold and then he freezes and can't get back up to the light. Or he goes somewhere else, like on the side of the cage, and freezes. So, I got him a 100watt ceramic heat emiter, but also kept his 2 other heat lights and UV light on his cage. And even that didn't work! WHAT CAN I DO??? I am keeping him in my bath room now, that's the only place I can keep him! Please help me!!! Thanks in advance
