This is a custom built cage designed for the iguana's needs. It's overall dimensions are 7.5' tall, 3' wide and 3' deep. The iguana's living space is 6'x3'x3'. There are 4 different levels so the iguana can thermoregulate himself, and a stainless steel pan in the bottom for the iguana to relieve himself, (the iguana is trained to do this). It is outfitted with 2 flourescent fixtures (located at 2 different levels for good UVB distribution), a regular incadescent fixture (for a heat lamp) and a porcelain incandescent fixture (for a ceramic heating element). Both incandescent fixtures are on dimmer switches for excellent heat control. There is also a timer and an air pump (to bubble air through a water bowl, this helps keep humidity up). It is painted a lovely forest green on the exterior and a calming lighter shade of green on the interior, and the shelves are carpeted with a dark green indoor/outdoor carpet. Also, this cage is made to dismantle for ease of moving. It has 5 pieces, the top (with the bulk of the light fixtures) the base, the "back half" (this portion makes up the non-screened area of the cage, and includes the basking shelves) the "forward half" (this is the screened portion of the sides) and the facade (this is the front, made to be easily removed for cleaning the cage, and consists of framed screening). It is a nice piece of furniture, and you would be proud to display it in your living room. I built this a year ago and the materials cost was $350 (made with top notch electrical components and quality 3/4" plywood). I am asking $200 (that is a steal!), and will throw the 3' long male iguana in for free (we have a new baby, and feel we cannot give the iguana the attention he needs). Please reply via e-mail if interested, Keith

would the cage break down into pieces small enough to fit in a car? How big is the ig? Male, female, any problems like MBD, hows the temperment? Can it free roam and is it potty trained? Is it used to being handled? Gerry Keith Lawler wrote: > This is a custom built cage designed for the iguana's needs. It's > overall dimensions are 7.5' tall, 3' wide and 3' deep.
