iguana habitat

Posted by manji on June 09, 2002 at 09:45:14:

I have a three-year old iguana (approximately) that was given to me last September. Right now he is in a 55 gallon tank, which is too small, but a friend recently gave me a tank that her husband built. It's 4' long, 2' wide, and 2' tall and it's made out of plexiglass. The top is just a plexiglass panel that they laid over the tank. My concern is that there is no ventilation in the tank, other than what seeps around the top since it doesn't fasten in any way. I'm worried that the tank may easily overheat, or that humidity may be a problem. Should I drill some holes in the sides or top to provide ventilation, and if so what are some suggestions for maintaining humidity? Any solutions would be greatly appreciated.
