My enclosures are pretty much stalls, so there's nothing to attach stuff to. I have small 1x1's along the back, where I can scre large branches in place, but the vast majority of my branches and plants are all intertwined.
I tie the big vines around the trees and branches, and secure them with thin reptivines( the supplier I used to get them from wasn't geetting any more in from China, just the big ones.). They were like 2.00 each, for 6 foot lenghts, and do not deterorate, and are very strong. the ones I bought 3 years ago are just as good as the newer ones. I used to use one of them to hold up a 3 pound piece of grapevine fromt hetop of my veidls cage, and it held fine for a year, before I changed things around. They are thebest way of securing branches to gether, as they are strong, and look great. You could check to see if they got any more in.
The company is Twin Oaks, in Kentucky or tennesee, cannot remember. I did a quick check on their site, and they're on their price list again, which may or may not mean a thing, I need ot check.
If they DO have them, I suggest everyone pick some up. Unlike the stuff normally used, these do not fall apart, and these hold their bend 100%--well, the big ones are a bit stiff, but the small ones are awesome) and at $2 for 6 feet, you can afford to use them for anything.
You'd be amazed how much you can get "up in the air" by tying branches to trees to branches with these vines. They hold MUCH more than twist ties, they look great, and they provide great pathways for chameleons. I'll attach a pic or two . In them, you can see the thinner vines, I usually spiral them around sticks and larger vines for effect and for increased strength.
These people at twin oaks started selling glass terreriums at the carolina reptile shows a few years back--they work glass themselves, so they charge about half the price petstores do. Recently, they started selling aquariums for similar prices.
example: their 90 galon tanks are $140. Ours was $300. they used to only deliver with their own trucks to local reptile shows on the east coast, but now they ship.
They've got a great buisness, I encourage peole to check them out.
I talk to them at the reptile shows I work at all the time...
