[@peterbarrio1533]

That's amazing!! Looks great!👏👍👌

[@AlabamaMichael]

Nice job! My iguana cage is on a concrete slab, it's 5' wide, 8' long and 8' high and has a kiddie pool in the bottom for him to swim. Our iguana is 5' 5" long, we have had him for 16-years. my wife caught him outside our house in Florida when he was about 3' long. It's her baby, sometimes I think she loves the iguana more than me. this the third cage I have built for it and the last

[@alpinecarpet1900]

Wow man you have some killer cages. I have built two so far and wish i would have watched your vids for the ideas i have now lol. Congrats on the outstanding cages hope the igs are loving it to.

[@HellsXA]

Hello. Thank you for good tutorial. How to keep floors in cage clean and prevent them from soaking? Mine lives freely in my room and made a loo in the nearest corner, so I have to clean after it thrice a day. Would be great to build him cage and reduce amount of cleaning to once in a day at least

[@Wickedreptiles]

Great job bro I’m going to use this video to build mine with some slight mods I’d like to make an fake tree that branches out to 4 different stand each branch will go to earthier a basking area or food/water source this is defiantly a good job and I’m sure iguana thanks you

[@peterbarrio1533]

Thanks mxs2006 glad you like it!

[@shauncampbell969]

peter barrio Hi, I was thinking about converting a closet for dishes, and making an iguana home. Yours looks great ! Mary looks happy . All the best Shaun, from NYC

[@johnarcheus]

Mariguana!! Lol, I thought I was the only one who had thought of this xD

[@krystalkaszuba2729]

wow.. great job..I would love to build my iguana a cage. if i build him one thats 4ft tall for now what watts do i need for the uvb, basking, and night time lights

[@melisrayne]

Hi! Nice cage!) Iguana looks happy) I can't get did you use UAB lamp at all?

[@julia.e.s7487]

Did you put any sealant on the wood to prevent mold and water damage, if so which one?

[@Outlaw_Actual556]

Around how much did this cost you im looking at making something like this for my iguana.

[@86aguilara]

I have the same name for one of my iguana lol. I really am on a budget and I been looking for tanks but they are super expensive for. Huge one since I have two. And this is perfect. Is there any way you can demonstrate how you made the lamp work. Connection, outlet and all. I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

[@raymondwalters2947]

I like the hose you hooked up to the fogger. Could you tell me the size, and how you connected them? I plan on doing something similar and will greatly appreciate it.

[@peterbarrio1533]

Raymond Walters the Reptifogger already comes with one I just added a 3 1/4" PVC hose and put it behind the branch. Make sure the end of the PVC hose is blocked off so no fog escapes only from the holes you drill in the PVC hose.

[@cameroncannon3175]

What tools did u use. I've never tried any DIY things but im sure Max would be happier in a cage like that in my room and terrace.

[@stephaniejohnson7637]

I want to know if you put the heating pad underneath the floor to keep the floor warm.

[@petkeeper3234]

how could anyone dislike this

[@philipsalazar4086]

😀 thank you for your comment I'm glad you like it

[@sbrodacz]

Nice build. Any idea how much you spent on it?

[@valladolidfamvlogs3415]

That's really nice how much did u spend in this project

[@kylephilops123]

What kind of light fixtures did youu use? What is the brand and where could I find those?

[@joepolyviou104]

Great great cage im going to recreat the exact but bigger.one question doesnt it get hot where the draws are?

[@peterbarrio1533]

It looks like drawers but it's a door and there is space for a bucket for the Mistking system and the humidifier, they're set on timers so it won't get hot. There's also space to keep food and supplies. Hope this answers your question, thanks for your comment and good luck with your cage.

[@datboii893]

Did you glue or nail the 3x2's

[@lynettepetit4465]

Awsome video on how to build your iguana a beautiful cage. I have a 4 year old green iguana that I got when she was a baby, what size cage should she be in?

[@philipsalazar4086]

Iguanas grow up to 5 6 feet so it's better for you to go bigger so you just do it one time

[@katki7184]

I wanna ask u 2 make me one thats so beautiful l love it!! Does it needs lots of money?

[@NebulousXIII]

What was the approximate cost for the supplies? Im getting a few month old iguana in a few days and I don't want to keep him in a fish tank lol. Mary Guana looks super happy in her home and it looks amazing, Id really like to build something like this for the one Im getting so he can be big and happy.

[@reinhardparelgmailcom]

I have one blue color and I make my own cage I use a old closet and remove every thing it's more cheaper and convenient for my new member of my family I named him aqua

[@mrcozaicy]

Would be nice if you can add some pictures of the cage. Hard too really see in the video like full cage set up.

[@monkeybreath1999]

Just curious where you found the Styrofoam that large and in what kind of shape it's in now? Did it hold up to claws or does your iguana not try to climb it at all? Very nice job!

[@peterbarrio1533]

***** Home Depot sells them in 4x8, had to cut it to add another 2 feet. When she was little she didn't really climb the walls,but she did leave a few scratches. That was the first cage I build but I saw how fast she was growing so I made a bigger stronger cage but she would probably destroy it now.

[@thingswithjade]

How much did it cost to make this? Would you say it’s cheaper than buying an already made one?

[@junaidrouf1171]

What type of lite did u use coz there not red blue like night lights

[@gangstaboogie51]

how did you get the piping for the covers to stay together?¿

[@stephaniejohnson7637]

I need to know what is everything that you use so I can go out tomorrow and make a purchase.

[@donnisouth-paw83]

Stephanie Johnson exactly right, I need to do this asap the bigger the space the better

[@AlonnieRivera]

How did you connect the heating pipe cover together?

[@wonderbread3371]

Hello, how did the cage hold up? It's been 8 years. How is the iguana doing?

[@heatherhenschel9349]

Hey this is a great video!!! I was just wondering where you got those tree branches from.

[@peterbarrio1533]

Thanks for watching the video! I got lucky and found a tree for $15 at a used office furniture store, I saw the same decor trees at Home Depot for $150. I cut the trunk and branches and set them up in the cage.

[@dakotaheitman6712]

List of materials pls and great video

[@PhotographybyMilan]

Hi mate, I am just in the middle of doing my one :) I really like the rocks. Could you tell me what paint did you use. Dont want to use anything which could irritate my boy ;) Thank you

[@peterbarrio1533]

Non-toxic acrylics were used. Good luck with your cage!

[@coreycarpenter4625]

Love the Display you made.. I have a Green tree python.. going to make a custom cage.. My question is the animals waste in the cage.. how is the outdoor carpet working?????? thought about buying the out door carpet at hardware store. Use it for the flooring but have a few back ups.. when one gets dirty put it in the washer if it fits. or wash in the bath tube..

[@philipsalazar4086]

You can wash it or clean it with a damp cloth. In my case it's different because my iguana poops in the pool so my carpet doesn't really get dirty. I think the carpet looks good but I don't know if you won't mind cleaning it all the time.

[@coreycarpenter4625]

ok thanks for the reply..

[@zoeashdown5914]

that's is a great vivarium you made there how much did it cost in all to do

[@peterbarrio1533]

This cage was $200, I have a new cage that did cost me more but has better features, you should check it out, I posted the build for that one too.Home Made Iguana Cage June 2014

[@RVLifeGaming]

Hello. I really like this cage. I'm thinking about making one for my iguana. On the doors what were the measurements

[@philipsalazar4086]

That all the depends on how big you want to do your iguana cage

[@dionisflores3667]

How far is your basking branch from the light bulbs?

[@gangstaboogie51]

How did u gett tha styrafoam ta stay without it breakin or crackin?¿

[@Manchester_engineering]

What's the song called and how come you used mdf instead of mfc chipboard? Also or a few parts of that you could have your could have used half lap joints and pocket hold joints for that also why didn't you?

[@peterbarrio1533]

Song is”she doesn't mind" by Sean Paul. I used plywood not mdf because plywood is more economical. Mdf also absorbs more water and will cause it to expand. I didn't really understand the other part...sorry

[@MultiCrack69]

would this be a good cage for a much larger iguana? Male green iguana

[@jd-895]

What kind of light did you use for heat

[@donnalucas2801]

how do i control the flys and nats im starting to notice!

[@PSNCraCkBaBy13]

This is awesome! My iguana is about 18 months old & he is in a 40gal tank. He's getting too big for it(if he isn't already) & I need to make him a bigger cage but I don't have the money. :(

[@philipsalazar4086]

You should try to make it a basic cage, the plywood is inexpensive and you could make a comfortable size cage. The 4x8 ft plywood are about $10 each, you need 4 and 2x4 ft plywood are about $4 each you need 8 of those. Then when you have some money you can slowly add decor. The important thing is the space for your iguana. You also need the uvb and uv lights so it can grow healthy.

[@PSNCraCkBaBy13]

Philip salazar Alright. Thanks. Is there any way I could get some blueprints or something?

[@Sammy-jr5hk]

PSNCraCkBaBy13 NO PLYWOOD IS BAD FOR REPTILES IT WILL KILL THEN

[@dandroiddoes3531]

LizardKeeper since when?

[@genericuser8157]

Are those fans at the bottom of the cage???

[@NVRLTLLTHATRUTH]

YOU'RE SO DOPE..... I'M TRYING TO MAKE ONE NOW!! 🙄😏😣🤔🤔🤔

[@Manchester_engineering]

I was going on about joinery pal like some joins you could have used to make it a little stronger or such.

[@tracydutcher5031]

What type of wood did you use?

[@stephaniejohnson7637]

where did you put the mist at.

[@willlyfesportstalk488]

Where did you get your artifical trees from

[@keithdimech8118]

how old is your iguana ? mine is 1 year old and i don't know when i am going to make one like this...And is that size great for a adult green iguana? good video and good work !!!!

[@peterbarrio1533]

My iguana is 1 year and 2 months, I made a bigger cage because I thought she would like a little more room. You should check out my new video, it's on my KZbin Page. Thanks for your comment!

[@keithdimech8118]

yeah i saw it it is amazing i really like your cages :)

[@1000banga1]

What lamp and lights you used

[@93chino]

Hey I just got an iguana and I was wondering when do you turn the lights off in his cage

[@peterbarrio1533]

XCHINO I have the lights on a timer,the UV and UVB go on at 9am they go off at 9pm and then the night light turns on. Good luck with your iguana!

[@93chino]

Ok thank you for your response I appreciate it

[@TheAnimalGuyTV]

Sweet cage! Where did you get the artificial plants?

[@peterbarrio1533]

I got them at a used office furniture store. Thanks for the comment,glad you liked my cage!

[@TheAnimalGuyTV]

peter barrio Glad you showed it to me! Keep it up man!

[@davidahern961]

What exactly is the reason for the humidifier and is it a must have thing for the iguana?

[@chrisbell5032]

Dave, Iguanas need high humidity,it helps there skin to shed and is necessary for internal organs,Chris.

[@davidahern961]

I thanks

[@express-wc8030]
