An iguana's cage floor or aquarium bottom can be covered with clean newspaper (unprinted preferably) or butcher paper. The next best material is indoor-outdoor carpeting. Paper towel squares can also be placed end to end to cover the entire bottom of the enclosure. When one of the squares becomes soiled, it can be easily removed and replaced without disturbing the entire floor of the enclosure. Under no circumstances should pea gravel, corncob material, wood shavings, sand, kitty litter or sawdust be used. None of these items promote adequate cleanliness, and they may be eaten while the iguana is feeding, resulting in intestinal impaction.

Iguanas are frequently displayed on moss. Even though this is visually attractive, it is a poor husbandry practice because this material remains continually damp, promoting serious skin infections.

A captive iguana's environment must be kept fastidiously clean and dry. Any object that becomes soiled with feces or urine should be removed and cleaned or replaced as soon as possible. The enclosure should be set up so that it can be easily cleaned. Human nature dictates that the more time it takes to clean the cage and the more complicated the task, the less often it will be done. Make the enclosure functional rather than beautiful.

Reptiles are highly susceptible to poisoning from pine oil cleaners, such as PineSol and Lysol. These household cleaners must be avoided

I built mine out of pvc pipe, plastic mesh and cable ties. Just build each section separately then lash the whole thing together! Don't forget to make a large door.
