What about peices of really thick rope. Like they use on ships. or cheap rope braided to make really thick ropes? They look like vines kinda.

that's an awesome idea!! ... how do think i could attach them ... hmmm ... by the way ... how do i transfer a pic from a floppy to this post so i can show you guys some pics?

Esay to attach. Just put a loop in the end and hook the end through a wall hook or something screwed into somethng secure. or you could even tie them. save the pic from your floppy onto your computer. then go to your profile on this page and "upload" the pic. Pretty simple Good luck!

I love this! Where do you find your rope, online or at hardware stores? I'm going to try this for Ichabod, he is outgrowing his vines!

You can find it in hardware stores. Just "braid" it together until its big enough to suppoer your ig unless you use HUGE rope which is hard to find. you can find it online or even at Walmart you can even tie knots in it for them to "grip" onto.

Theres nice thick white rope, with orange lines dotted on it, you can get at home depot that can hold thousands of pounds, im sure that's strong enough for any iguana :P I might have to try this idea out myself, as im just using debarked small tree's from my back woods, might add some spice to thier lives
