While we have many different floor plans for you to choose from, we really view them as just a starting point to give you ideas.  The floor plans we offer have the basics that everyone needs, but some customers are looking for something a little more customized than others.  We specialize in working with them to create the house that they want, at a price they can afford.  One of the houses we are building right now has us very excited.  We call are calling it The Lizard House, although it would more accurate to call it “The Iguana House”.  While there are other custom options in the home, the biggest one is the Iguana Wing, named that by the homeowner.  We asked her to tell us a little bit more about her Iguanas, and the room that we helped her design for them:

“Green Iguanas are one of the most proliferate lizards in the exotic pet trade.  As babies they are adorable tiny little green herbivorous lizards that sell for about $10.  Most unsuspecting customers do not realize that they can reach lengths of 6 feet and become quite aggressive and dangerous as pets.  Because of this, they are some of the most abused and neglected lizards in the market.  I have had the pleasure of adopting and rehabilitating 2 of them that came from some of the most horrendous conditions I have ever seen.  I also have 2 hybrid Cyclura Lewisi, also a large lizard in the Iguanidae family.  While they are not abused all Cyclura’s are listed as endangered.  In fact sadly we have already lost one species to extinction.  There were literally only a handful of Lewisi’s left on the Cayman Islands.  Through the efforts of the Blue Iguana Recovery Program there are now over 1,000 and we hope to continue that growth of these majestic creatures so that future generations can enjoy their beauty and grace.

I would like to thank R. L. Workman Homes, LLC, for making a dream I had into a reality.  I walked into their office with a crazy idea, and was greeted with, “we can do anything”.  They worked side by side with me to create an indoor/ outdoor caging system that is attached to our custom built home.  This “Iguana Wing” as I like to refer to it has all the amenities needed to meet the very specific needs of my exotic pets.  Even suggesting unconventional building materials to ensure that this area will stand the test of time and last life times beyond us.   From individual enclosures, extensive lighting, thermostat controlled heated floors with individual sensors, drainage, a washing station and a food prep station, their attention to detail with our design was incredible.  Best of all, this idea we had is affordable to complete.  I watch daily as our dream is completed and cannot wait for the day we get to move in.”
