I didn't see this when I answered your earlier post. Since you have cage in hand (so to speak) the lighting and heat are going to be your biggest concern. On a cage that size I would use the Zoo Med 5.0 flourescents (there are 2 of these, different packaging, same bulb!) and a ceramic heat emmiter for temperature. The flourescent light needs to be within 12 inches of where the iguana spends most of his time to do any good. This is usually the highest part of the cage which helps. Some people use the mercury vapor lights which give you heat and light in one bulb. There are still widely varying opinions on the safety and reliability of these (ducking!). I prefer to go with the time tested flourescents. (but then I still have long hair and wear tie-dyed T shirts LOL!)
