I should add.
Animals and pets make your life so much fuller. Not all of them are loving (the fish) and not all of them are lovable (yeah, May, I never liked you, but I wept when we euthanized you). But all of them make you a better person because you care for them. Doesn't matter, reptiles, amphibians, rodents, horses, cats and dogs. You're a better human because you make their lives better.

Yes, it's hard to lose them, but they are a wonderful thing that makes the whole experience worthwhile.

Well, since you asked...
When we first got Jack, we lived in an apartment in Chicago. We set up a little area in the kitchen for him, using an aquarium hood as a heater upon which he could bask, and we put it near a window so he could look down 20 stories. We also installed a "ladder" for him so he could climb down if he wished, though, being only about 12 inches long, he didn't do that.
Iguanas are, by nature, pretty clean animals. They like to perch on a tree branch, preferably over running water into which they can defecate.
It seems our sink had a "drippy" faucet, so jack would position himself on the tap, and poop into the drain of the sink. He hardly ever missed. BANG! Right into the drain.
When we bought our house, and he was older, we set things up in a similar way, but the faucet wasn't drippy. No matter, he knew that was his spot, and he'd poop into the drain.
By this time he was bigger (about 2 feet) and he was more adventurous about exploring the house, upstairs and down. Let me tell you, there's nothing like going to shower at 5 AM and seeing a 2 ½ foot lizard looking down at you from the shower curtain rod.
