I guess I could not really pic one for the poll. I use both. I like the store bought kinds. I liked the fluker vines the least. It seemed after several disassemblies that they just ripped up on me but on the other hand they still do look very cool. I like offering big branches for my male veiled because of his size. It would cost a small fortune to make 1-2" branches throughout the cage with the store bought ones. He seems not to travel them to much throughout the day but he always sleeps on one at night.

Cool Not sure...

I find my older male veiled (I think he is about 6 months) likes to sleep in different spots in his cage but always ends up on a small diameter exo terra vine. My other male (younger by about 1-1.5 months) always sleeps in the same place EVERY night and it is a small exo terra vine as well. Not sure why these guys pick the smaller vines, they have both small and medium to choose from.

I often buy a grapevine wreath at Wal-Mart or Michael's craft store. They have various sized ones and each individual wreath has various sizes of vines. I soak then in very hot water over night and the next day they are very pliable and easy to work with. Then I put them in my cage, secure them with cable ties and after they dry they hold the shape that you put them in. They are very sturdy and hold a full grown chameleon very well.

i use 2 bio vines in my small enclosure and broke off a couple of branches from a bare tree outside, baked em at 350 degrees for half an hour and wala, im good to go. the vines are used for him to bask in and have the ability to get around in the open part of the cage and the branches are 2 to 1. for every 2 on the open i keep one on the closed. have no idea why i did it to start with but for some reason he loves to sleep on the closed side branch. i alternate 2 ficus and 1 umbrella plant and will always find him on the same branch sleepin

I went into the woods behind my house and found a goldmine of vines. I was thinking of buying some synthetic stuff but these look much better and when they get too nasty I can just get rid of them and get some more.

I just pull vines out of trees - you get 30 to 50 feet at a time. Just don't get the ones that are all hairy... you dont' want to go near them... hehe.
