Free Range Set-up

[hi106]

Hey everybody,
I have been interested in a free range type setup for quite sometime. Just wondering where to get started, and any tips/tricks for starting one. I know it's gonna be a big project but i think it's gonna be worth it. And it will be her new home so she will be in it 24/7.
I already have a cage for her, its 2'x3'x4' just wanting to move her to a free range environment. I have a mist king system already and lights. Any pointers for setting all this up and drainage and hanging lights?
Preferred plant types for a free range?
Any suggestions/pointers would be appreciated,
Thanks

I would start with the plants. I would get some live trees, maybe hang a pothos. You can see how I do mine here:

My mistking hits that shefflera its pointing at, and the water all falls into that clear bin. I just screwed the lights from his cage, to the ceiling.

Any suggestion to what trees to get?

Indoor trees can be hard to keep alive. I have found keeping them in the window helps. Any large ficus, hibiscus, or shefflera. I use a hibiscus and shefflera(large ficus are expensive). Hibiscus is edible as well. The flowers and leaves can be used as gutload.

Heres a free range structure i have. I started by mounting drift wood on to cedar boards them mounted them to the wall ,then added vines&branches with zipties its over 5 feet across and 2 feet high all the chams love it!!

Nice set-up! I plan on using hibiscus plants but I bought some seeds so I have a little while before I'll get to use those
Once I get a plan down I'll post it here to get some reviews before I start the build.
