When you purchase your iguana, you must also get a lot of stuff with it.   You will end up spending two hundred to three hundred dollers to set him/her up.   The iguana needs the following items:

  1. Cage

  2. Substrate

  3. Branches to Climb

  4. Bowl for food and another for water

  5. Silver Light Dome Thingy

  6. Incandescent Light Bulb - Producing UVA

  7. UV lightbulb fixture

  8. UVB producing bulb.  Buy Vitalite, ReptiSun, or bulbs that are made by ZooMed that produce the necessary UV light for iguanas.

  9. Thermometer

  10. Vitamin/Mineral supplement

  11. Alfalfa Pellets (Rabbit Food)

  12.   A grocery store that you know that has all the vegetables that you need for your iguana.  See "Food" below.

  13.   A vet that takes care of iguanas.

  14. A ceramic heating element for nighttime heating.
