Well I have the plans and a person to build it, I just need to know what kind of wood is safe, sturdy, and cheap.

I heard in other answers that there were some types of wood that are harmful to Iguanas, so if anyone knows what I should and shouldn't use then thanks!

BTW: I'm most...

I would not use wood chips at all, they can easily swallow them when they are eating, and plus it's hard to spot insects in the cage, with the wood chips, maybe soft hay or something, it's in the pet store. Not exactly sure if that's the name of it but it's soft and looks white. I found it easier to keep the tank clean with it instead of the wood chips.

You are probably tired of looking through stacks and stacks of projects on woodworking in magazines and books of all kinds for some instructions on how to do a certain project. Here is a site which offers 16000 plans https://tr.im/6p4J8

How would you like to have woodworking plans (actually thousands of them) available to you anytime you wanted them. It would be so easy when you do not have to paw through all kinds of old magazines but have it right there at your fingertips.

if your going to Home Depot then your restricted to pine the other wood they carry is not safe for your pet however you can harden pine by heating it (without burning it) that will encourage your pet not to chew on it the process removes the leftover sap and that is what smells good to your pet-I recommend that you consider oak instead of pine though i built enclosures for different zoo's so this is the highest recommendation you can receive-(retired now)-good luck on your endeavors

dont use pressure treated wood. thats all i know. it can be very harmful.

anything but pine its not good for them to inhale
