I was looking to get a temporary cage until I can get one built for an iguana. Has anyone had any problems with the Reptarium cages and how do they hold up?

I have two Reptariums I use for some large snakes, however I don't know how well they will hold up to an iguana. I suppose it will depend on the size of the iguana. A small iguana might do alright but a larger ig might be able to damage the mesh. That being said though, the mesh is really pretty tough.

I had my ig in a reptarium when she was small. It held up to her o.k. but she really damaged her snout by nose-rubbing. I had to cover the lower 6 inches or so with cardboard to get her to stop, but I quickly moved her into a larger melamine and glass cage.
