that cage will be to small for him once he gets larger
80-85 degrees is honest including a basking vicinity 90-95
if you can mantain this temp you don't call for to add ply wood but you could also use plecy schooner.
get on to approximately books on iguana care and you can check out these sites for supplies and dreams

If the cage is a clad size and you single have the lone mercury vapor light, you could want to add another basking light or a ceramic heat emitter for superfluous warmth. I in fact bought a humidifier when my ig was temporarily kept in a engage enclosed space. By plywood or plexiglass will protect the damp in better though.
Get on to guaranteed the mercury vapory lamp is not too far away early the basking spot and nothing is obstructing the trail of light. You want to get on to guaranteed your ig is benefitting early the UVB emission.
