Iguanas are becoming one of the most popular pets to own. So if you are thinking about getting a pet iguana, or you already have one, then you must read this article on how to build the right iguana home. It is very important to know that in order for an iguana to thrive, it needs a home that is built for its needs. Let's get started.

Iguanas have adapted to live in large areas where they are free to roam and one that provides them with direct sunlight. Now you will not be able to provide the exact habitat that iguanas are use to, however you will be able to get close to it.

First, you must provide your iguana with significant amount of light and heating in their home. You will need to provide your pet iguana with UVA lights, and this is so because the iguana's need these rays to remain healthy. It is recommended that you place the lights on top of its cage or whatever else you plan on using as a home.

Some ideas for the ideal home:

1. Wired cages. These are very cheap to buy, however the wires can become hot while the lighting is on. Also, the iguana can stab itself from the wires, so wired cages would require you to have extra precaution.

2. Wooden box. I recommend this type of cage, but make sure it also has windows for you to see the iguana and for the iguana to view outside.

3. Closet or any open space in your home. If you do not mind sharing the inside of your house with your iguana, go right for it.

Once you have selected the appropriate living space for your iguana, you now must provide some key things for your pet. First, you must have hiding places for the iguana. Your iguana will love to hide. Second, you must provide climbing apparatuses for the iguana. Iguanas love to climb and explore, so the more stuff you have for them the better. Lastly, you must provide the light for the iguana, they absolutely need the heat!
