Screen cage

[Sage]

Okay, so I got my new cage from LLLreptile.com and it is very nice but i need some ideas of how to set up the cage with and what to hold it with. I have some real plants and some fake plants. And Im not sure what to hold the plants with sense the screen holes are tiny. I would like any picyures too.

go to michaels or any arts and craft store and buy the florist wire for your fake vines and plants.
as far as real plants, just put them on the bottom.

i just get sticks that are a little bit larger then the enclosure and put them up from one side to the next and then fasten more sticks to them with twist ties. if you need plants to be higher you can get a plant stand or a nice log. i have a log that i got and it holds my still growing pothos plant.

50 LB. Test FISHING LINE!

 

[Justin Carl]

if you use fishing line of that weight you got to be carefull what knots you use.
it will eventually slip, so have a fisherman help you!!

 

[Dean Pulcini]

plastic coated twister ties work good. And they should fit through the holes.

 

[Jordan]

You can use twist ties, like the ones that come with alot of garbage bags. You will probably have to mush them a little bit to get them through the holes but it should work fine. You might even already have some in your house.

I used fishing line. It was a pain in the @$$ but it has worked out well.

 

[Sage]

Why was it a pain?

 

[Julirs]

I didn't find it to be a pain at all. I made sure to tie many knots in both directions so it doesn't slip, and have been using it for a year in several cages with no issues!
