Good luck with that. You'll have to find someone local, and it probably won't be cheap. You might just want to build it like everyone does.
Check this place out for ideas:

where are you located? i am going to be building cages for a little side business. i cant deliver one and i think shipping would be crazy but if you could come to Massachusetts i could do one for real cheap compared to others out there

Hey, that's my link!

Seriously though, that is the best, easiest, most economical caging for large lizards. I HIGHLY recommend building around a trough. It allows for 2 feet of substrate, not to mention being pretty much indestructible.

Building a 6x2x2 trough setup costed me about 350 dollars (Actual cost of trough included). I payed a handyman to do it.

An 8x3x2 setup costs more like 425. If you like I could post the broken down cost of building a trough cage.
