Is this vine perfect for adult and juvenile?

Those are not recommended. The particles on it come loose and can get in their eyes and cause an infection.

I haven't specifically used this type specifically but I used the flukers in the past. However, when I went to put them into Spikes enclosure........they were already crumbling really bad and I could see parts of the metal sticking out and stuff. So I won't use any fake branches ever again.
To me... it's too easy and makes too much sense to just use natural branches. If you live in a city that doesn't quite have that ease of access to branches, I would say use Flukers if you must.... but maybe look into alternative methods. Maybe you can get some branches shipped to you somehow or something.
Yeah you have to pay attention to these when you get them. If they are old they are in horrible condition. Any fake vine will also break down over time and must be swapped out when they do.

Yeah I had even orderd brand NEW ones and even those ones were instantly flaking! I trashed all of them. I do think there are plenty of circumstances where you can use them, but I think esp sitting under these lights.... they're just likely to deteriorate and for me, I just don't want to have them hurt my chameleon. Because I'd be the one that would happen toYeah you have to pay attention to these when you get them. If they are old they are in horrible condition.

I’m also thinking of making a background with some branches attach on many elevations to have the chameleon to use. As another backup plan.

It's so close to being amazing, but it sheds so much and makes it not very good. Seems like there not a very good replacement for natural branches. Fake vines fall apart, bamboo can allegedly cause splinters, and I've heard plain dowels are too smooth and uniform and not recommended. Maybe rubber tubing might work, but is ugly and might be too bouncy.
