I use an Apogee Reptarium for my female Jacksons Chameleon, but I think that is about all they are good for. They are made of a fairly heavy cloth mesh, but not heavy enough for an adult iguana.
The only other thing I would be concerned about is the size of the holes in the mesh. They are VERY small. Given, it is not nearly as bad as using metal screen on a cage, since the cloth mesh is a lot kinder to little claws. But it still allows the opportunity for little ones to get a claw ripped out when it gets caught in the little holes.

: I was wondering if I should be worried about any rips or tear in a Reptarium. I have not yet purchased one yet, and so I do not know what exactally they're made of. This will be for several juveniles, and not an adult.
