New Cham setup plus need advise

[Dperez87]

Hello folks, im new to the cham forums and i recently purchased my first baby veiled named reptar, i have him in a 65gal reptarium enclosure with a fake plant and a live golden pothas, i also have a few vines across the plants and cage but i can only mount the vines by wedging them in between the pvc and mesh which i dont like, i was wondering how so many of you have beautiful setups with vines and twigs everywhere. Any advice would be appreciated thanks.
heres a picture of the setup and my baby cham.

i used the little pins and pushed them into the black vines the black vine is this line ----- going across the cage at the end of each one i put the pins this is the pin> so it looks like this <----------->

I think that setup looks good...and Reptar is well cute You can tie or pin the vines and branches pretty much any way that keeps them secure.......

I found push pins to work better than thumb tacks because the pin is longer. Your cage looks very nice. Just a few branches, vertical and horizontal. One thing, just make sure that your plastic thing that catches the water does not get too deep with water that you chameleon could fall in and drown.

Where did you pick up that fake plant thats on the left? Looks nice and sturdy. I'd like to pick up one myself.

i usually bend vines back around ones that i secure down with zip ties to my pvc frame works well and they are very sturdy.

I use floral wire (since I have a few pounds of it sitting around here) and attach it to the screen that way, twisting the wire closed outside of the tank so they can't get it. If you want, you can get bamboo from places like Home Depot and cut it to length (just take some sandpaper to the ends so your little one doesn't get hurt) and you can use those to form highways in the terrarium for your little guy to explore with the push pin method.

Congrats on your new little one, so so so cute!
