Dear Happy Hillbilly,
He seems to be doing well with the cork bark. The diameter of the cage furniture does seem to be a consideration. I tried some surreal vine (about an inch and a half wide) and he's not interested in climbing it.

The substrate I'm using right now is just aspen bedding. I could attach zig-zagged climbing surfaces like I have in my water dragon screen cage but I'm trying to consider the "logistics" of having a foot of substrate in a Reptarium. The plastic liners are only about 5 inches tall. Then there's the humidity problem. If he's in screen then even with twice daily misting I may not be about to keep it high enough and just about any surface but cork bark would get super slippery. AHH - I'm so frustrated.

I don't know FR as you apparently do but he and I have not had what I would call a pleasant exchange. It makes no sense to me that someone would be gracious enough to answer a call for advice and then ruin it by being obnoxious as he has been. Although you may not have had experience with tree monitors your insights have been helpful, supportive, and much appreciated! I hope your savannah is well. If being a reptile fanatic is abnormal then I guess your mom's doctor was right but here's to it.
Lauren
