Answer
Hello Dan, it depends on how big the Iguanas are. The rule is as high as possible and twice the length of the Iguana.

So you have two 12 inch Iguanas the cage needs to be at least 24 inches long.

I think a ten gallon is much much too small for two babies and isn't even adequate for one.

They grow fast and its best to get the largest enclosure possible because you will end up needing a cage at least 6ft tall up to 10ft long and 3-4ft deep as they are adults. And thats just for one! A guest bedroom would be better.

But for babies you can start out with a 50 gallon and work your way up. Remember that they love to climb and the more height the better.

I would suggest you start making their large enclosure as soon as possible. Moving enclosures all the time can be stressful, not to mention expensive.

Good luck
