Hey I was thinking about moving my iguana from his temporary cage into a bird cage and I was wondering how to keep humidity inside the cage. I heard someone metion mesh to me but what kind of mesh do I use and where do I get it, thanks.

Do you have a humidifier of some kind?

nope I dont at the moment. Would a waterfall create enough humidity?

nope,although it depents on the volume almost all of devices fail to raise humidity significantly in large enclosures.
You have two choises,either you buy those kind of humidifiers that hold a tank of water and produce a lot of mist or you can buy hoses and install sprinklers on them that turn water to mist and run it around the top of your cage.You should visit a store that has to do with watering fields.They will guide you through.The sprinklers are those they use to raise humidity in greenhouses where they keep tropical plants.In both cases you will need to cover most of the cage with some kind of material like nylon or something.Be sure to leave critical open space.Use a digital hygrometer to see where your humidity levels are and adjust further

Now that I've seen a pic of your iggy from previous post don't bother with the hoses,they are for much bigger enclosures,try the humidifier.Ask other members to tell you where to find one if you don't know where from.Ask it as the humidifier with the pvc tubes.They should understand what you are talking about..
