alot ofd people get a large wardrpbe and put a glass front i.e. sliding patio doors something strong.
i mean the viv has to be big like 6x6x4 min, basicall just put ledges, big logs and a few basking platforms in there, shelvs, etc and he should be fine.

Yeh the first thing you need is the size, then what you want to make it from, then set up the electrics.. then decorate.
Don't forget a nice large water pool.
And if you can there should be a log over looking from above, the water pool.
if you google for large iguana enclosure
large iguana viv
large outside vivarium
iguana cage
and other variations of the above yourl come up with a lot, maunly US sites but a few ideas about.

Otherwise Theres a few members here who have iggys... search the forum for the term Iguana and again a few threads should pop up of interest.
Would do it for yopu butI have to get goin shortly.
