Should I be worried about a hanging chain?

I am working on my Veiled Chameleon Zant's big enclosure. 2x2x4.

I have two golden pothos in there hanging from the top with chain and wood piece going across to hold the weight.

Should I be worried about him climbing the chain and hurting his feet or anything?

I have included a picture of what is in there so far.

Sidenote: The brown jungle vines will be wrapped with fake foliage to give him some more hiding space and stuff. I will also use the plant vines themselves once they grown some more and will eventually be all live plant and no fake ivy. I also have another plant to repot that will be in the bottom. It's a dracena(sp?). I am also eventually going to replace his small like 18 inch UVB with a huge 40 something that will be mounted on the wall behind his cage and two sides will be wrapped in a wood graphic paper kind of thing to give him more privacy.
His basking light will go in the back corner.
More branches will be added once I can find some(looking for bamboo or something i can use easily.

chain should be ok.

most people use plastic chain, but if you wrap some fake vines around it it should be even better.
 
The #8 plastic chain I bought from the hardware store states it's maximum load as 175 pounds. I like it to hang my branches and vines from it, and because it won't rust. As long as you're hanging it from something that can handle the load, I would think it would be fine.
 
I'm not saying it doesn't work but I wasn't sure about how it would hold the plants. The fake ivy I have is like chain link and it's too weak for anything like that.
