Not sure about desert iguanas,it depends on basking habits and daily routine, pretty much what they go by in figuring uvb dependence out, other than a few tests here and there on one group of animals or another. If the bulb doesn't touch the screen it will probably not create any problem other than blocking some rays and also some heat, you just don't want the glass getting hotter than what is "normal". Bob's site says somewhere how much heat and light is actually blocked by screen, and some basic guidelines for UV requirements. He could probably tell you how much closer you can have the bulbs when used through screen, as the recommended distance is based on uv output, as long as the temps are still good.
