And then you'll need a custom built cage soon after that.

Also agreed. 55 is the minimum for a hatchling iguana, but they don't stay hatchlings for very long. Within a couple months (or possibly less if you have a fast grower) you will have to upgrade the size of his enclosure. While you could get a larger aquarium (like 125-150) this wouldn't make much financial sense because you would have to replace it again in weeks to months. You're money would be best spent building a custom screened enclosure that will last your iggy for the rest of its life.
