  For the bottom of the cage/tank or whatever you have decided to buy you should have some sort of substrate.  Right now I'm using a product called "Repti - bark".  I have heard a lot of problems with people using products like these but so far there has yet to be a problem.  You can use my choice or you can use a number of different products such as paper towel, newspaper (with caution), or other pet store products like 'Forest floor' Now to defend why I think the bark is ok,  I have had my iguana since he was very small.  I feel that he can tell the difference between food and the substrate.  However, if I got my iguana when he was much older and had never used the bark before I would feel there is a chance he will mistake the bark for food.  I hope that wasn't confusing.
