XLG iguana cage For sale, and iguana for adoption

My father has decided to go into semi-retirement and start organically farming our 20 acres for profit, and I plan on helping as much as possible. We've mutually decided to cut down on the number of 'hobby' pets that I own because startup costs will probably mean we'll be living lean for a while and though I pay for the critter's feed/housing/supplies with my paycheck, we want to maximize total household income.

The cage is 4' wide by 4' long and is ceiling height, or a little less than 8'. It sits on pieces of 1/2" wood to remove a gap at the ceiling, and was designed to be like that so it would fit properly. It is made of wooden lattice framed with 1"x3"s, and a well framed door with a top and bottom hook-and-eye latch. The floor is outdoor carpeting over a folded painters tarp just in case he spills water. It has tons of huge branches (optional, you can take 'em if you want 'em!). His food and water dishes were brand new 'kitty litter' pans from family dollar, will be large enough for him as an adult, too. also included is a 15" UVB fixture which I hang very close to his basking area, a 4" fluorescent light for general lighting, a 250 watt heat bulb and fixture. The UVB and Flourescent are on a timer for 12 hr cycles. The heat bulb is on 24/7 for heat basking. When he gets to be an adult, you may wish to make the cage larger. This would be easy to achieve simply by buying another lattice panel, some 1"x3"s, and some screws.

The iguana was a reptile show 'rescue'. He was piled under about 20 iguanas his size in a 55 gallon tank. He had mouth rot that had led to a broken jaw and an 80.00 vet bill after I got him home. He healed just fine, and I learned feeding pulverized greens to injured iguanas is not fun. I handled him a lot before I headed back to school, but recently I've had less time. He can be difficult to reach on top of his cage, too, so I only hold him when I spot him down on the bottom of his 8' cage, which isn't often. He was wild when I bought him, wild as I hand fed him, and still wild. After lots of scratches despite regular holding, I had resolved this would be a hands-off pet. I never had an iguana that was part way grown when I bought it - my past iggs were all babies when I bought them. His diet is collard greens, mustard, and turnip greens daily, and often I add green beans or fruit a couple times per week. He gets Jurrassi-vite on his food daily as well. I realize I've been saying 'he' but I really don't know the sex. I had planned on making another vet visit to get it sexed for sure. If female, I was going to look into a spay procedure, as i heard that eliminates the seasonal temperament issues.

For size reference, before decoration etc:

For the cage, supplies, and iguana, I'm asking 125.00, or make offer. No shipping, could meet at the next Taylor reptile show or elsewhere for price of gas.

Steal the idea! It really is a nice cage - works great, large size, is pretty pleasing to look at, makes him feel safe, the walls are climbable.

The lattice holes MIGHT be a little big for a chameleon unless it's a large adult. Otherwise, it would likely work great, though I'm not sure they'd be able to climb the walls.

This thread might be old but I STILL have this cage sitting in my upstairs living room. Now I'm thinking about lining it with bird mesh and putting some finches in there... or maybe my boas.
