LLLReptile Cage - Stupid Question

[mommycurzon]

Ok, so, I've got a FABULOUS cage that's monstorous in size but I'm apparently dumb cause I can't see how to attach vines to it and keep them up. I had the flexarium which I'd wrap the vines around the frame but obviously can't do that with this one. Ummmm...HELP!

I could just put plants in but my little guy loves vines, more then plants. I LOVE how vindicatedornot did his in this post!!!!

One way you could is take a twist tye and strip the paper off of it and expose the small wire. Feed that through the screen and wrap it around the vine. Be sure that there are no ends to poke your chameleons skin.

I think the twist ties are the best solution, but please whatever you do, do not use tape, or that sticky blue stuff, I have seen bad things happen to reptiles because of it.

Zip ties are the best. They don't corrode or rust with heavy water usage.

If you buy smaller sized zipties, they can actually wedge into the screening without breaking it. Then you can take them out later, and reset the screen with a thumbtack.

Good luck.

Most of us use zip ties, and florist wire.

Hi there. I used zip ties to attach the vines to the screen. Location of the zipties will make the branches sturdier or weaker. You have to be smart about how you attach them. alot of my vines criss cross making highways for my cham, and they help support each other. try not to make the vines run against the screen because the chams will bump the screen and climb on it more often.
