there are a handful of manufacturers, some should be listed on this very website, however, a quick search with yahoo or google should lead u in the right direction.

don't expect them to come cheap, nor in the PROPER size an iguana needs. the bigger the cage, the more $$$ will come out of ur wallet. Since adult iguanas need a MINIMUN of :
6-7 feet in L
4-6 feet in W (or depth)
6-8 feet in H

i doubt any of them make them this big. Usually they make them 6 high, 4 deep, and 4.5 long.

Most of us i assume build our own by going to ol' trusty Home Depot and buy the goods to build one. Some convert a LARGE unused closet, others a small guest room, or bathroom.

Remember, it has to be functional, safe for the animal, and especially for the home, and easy to clean up. And, unlike some enclosure that look like a prison cell, u should make it look as "natural" and eye-candy as possible. People think that just adding a log and a rock makes it look "natural". yeah right...

Browse through whoever u find that builds them. height and length are the most important measures, but also depth, since the animal has to turn around. Remember that ig's tails are not that much flexble!

good luck. if u want, we can give u some ideas.
