Outdoor Enclosures:

Cat Rigby-Burdett's Knock-down PVC Cage and Wood and Mesh Enclosure
Jennifer Swofford's Cage Page

 

Indoor Enclosures:

Elizabeth Anderson's Iguana Enclosure includes some very nice features
George Buce's Water Dragon Enclosure Make them bigger for iguanas!
Glenn Merrill's Indoor Enclosures - Make them wider for iguanas!
Michael Mombourquette's IguanaWORLD
Robert Allen's Cazic's Place - Increase size as the iguana grows; good ideas for heating, humidity and ventilation

 

Commercially-Made Reptile Enclosures:

Before buying, or even looking, at enclosures, check out my Standard Tank Size and Reptile Enclosures: Size, Dimension and Lifestyle articles. What may sound like a large enclosure that will last a lifetime may well just last a year - or less - especially for rapidly growing iguanids like green iguanas. Before you place an order, be sure to do the math!

The Bean Farm now carries Custom Cage's Iguana enclosures. They are not large enough for an iguana over 3-4 feet STL, but the largest will give you a bit of breathing space until you have to build your own or an extension. Sites selling plans and enclosures include Cages By Design and Keith Van Zile's Lizardcages.com (and be sure to read his article, Lizard Luxury). GlassCages.com makes a huge variety of enclosures; while none are suitable in size for adult iguanas, they are for small lizards, as well as fish and coral.
