Re: Iguana resdue- looking for tips/advice!

I'm pretty sure iguanas need high humidity so you're going to want to get him out of the screen-top or modify it when you have the time and funds.

Yes, they do need high humidity, but from what I read they also need very good ventilation. Right now he has a huge water dish, and I mist him twice a day. He had stuck shed when I got him that's now come off, and the humidity seems to be holding pretty well. Either way, the tank is only temporary. He should outgrow it very quickly.

What kind of enclosure do you think would work better? Since I don't know that much about lizards I'm open to suggestions!

Willow the larger the better with igs. When I had my guy his enclosure was 6' tall 4' wide and 3' deep. Front, rear and top were closed, the side panels were mesh. By the time he was 5 years old it was too small for him. He could have easily used another couple of feet in both depth and width. I had a large bowl for water but also gave him a bath in the tub each morning. With the side mesh I was able to use a humidifier sitting outside that kept the humidity up really well.
