Hey guys well I just recently rescued a green iguana from a neglectful family!

he/she is six years old but is only 3 and feet long and I can tell that he/she has MBD...Im looking around for an vet right now!

Well im not that eduacated on adult iguana's I felt he/she had a better chance of surviving with me.

Heres a couple of Pics!

Dont chew me out on the encloser I made it in like 30 mins It's going to be His/Hers til friday afternoon!...Im going to ACE... hardware store!

Does anyone know how to upload pictures?

I want to but dont know how?

And any pictures of your custom enclosers would help me out alot!

Thanks alot KillaCam.

Good job on the rescue.

Here is an example of one of them we built.

Thanks, Linda

Linda what is your cage made of and its measurements ??

i plan on rebuilding a cage for my 3-4 foot iguana soon
i just adopted her kind of .. shes like so not tamed or anything got her last weeken

it is made out of plywood and plexiglass. The doors are wood
frame with plexiglass inserts set on a closet door runner
to slide back and forth. The upper back half is also plexiglass
because it sets in front of an upstairs window. Digit loves
to look outside and can go to sleep as the sun goes down and wakes up with the sun rise. The top and sides are solid to retain heat. I do have vents also for fresh air.
I have two 4' Reptisun 5.0 affixed to the inside top and a
hole cut with open fencing to the heat lamp to set outside
so no chance for burn. By placing the fluorescent fixtures
inside it also help to heat the enclosure because it gives
off heat. Then just paint and decorate.

It wasn't very expensive to make for the size and it has lasted
Digit a long time. The dimensions are 5' X 3' X 6'. In
the picture you can see him at the top under the light on the
right. He was very small in this picture.

Hope this helps
Linda
