my first dragon strand!

[Tommy Bonnet]

So I got my first dragon strand today and am very happy with the quality. Here is a pic of what I have so far just need to add my live plants ( trying to figure out how to hang them) and find some more sticks. Any suggestions are welcome and appreciated. Thank you!

Got my pathos in there.

You should buy some dragon ledges

I was thinking about it. Looking at the 5 pack.

I use neodymium magnets to anchor most things on my screen enclosures. Plants are very easy to hang, as you can use monofilament and run it over a brace that is sitting on the frame of the enclosure. I see you have customized a hood for the top. There might be a creative way to utilize that for bracing.

Do you glue magnets to what your trying to hang then put one on the outside to make them stick? Only reason I ask s because my magnets aren't sticking to the cage lol

Lol, no, they will not stick to the cage.

I buy the magnets that have been pre-drilled for screws. Then I screw one magnet unto the item going in the enclosure and mate it with another externally. I buy the magnets that are rated for 10lbs of pull/resistance.

They hold everything I have ever tried to put in my enclosures and I have very large chameleons with an abundance of plants. I even use them to hold the horizontal branches in place. I think most people use thumbtacks, but I just don't like having weight braced through the screen.

I second the dragon ledges comment, I love mine.

I'd stick with the dragon ledges. If you ask Bill Strand what he does with them he'll even show you how to make some bitching looking pot holders for your plants.
