Okay I've had the same static set up of brances and substrate in his 6 x 4 x 2(i know i wish it was 3) for about a year or 2 now. I need to do something new for a number of reasons, but mainly to satisfy him. I want to have a waterfall someplace to allow him some fresh drinking water. I noticed when i was misting his tank today that (like usual) he enjoys drink the wate rthat runs down the branches, so i decided to push the lever down on the mister very slightly (its one of the weed killer misters that you pump) and put it close to his mouth, and he'll just drink right out of it its crazy. So I believe they prefer running water because its usually fresher then stagnet water. If I have a waterfall in a small pond tho I need to have screening to keep things like feces away from the pump. Any suggestions guys? Substate? Ideas? What else would he like, this is his 3rd year here. The current substrate i a bark of some sort that is too large to impact but I believe I should try something more attractive and softer.

I have the same size viv and I use a Pondmaster 190 filter/pump combo with a waterbell attachment. My dragons (3) love to stand on the filter and let the waterbell water cascade over them. Much better thsn a waterfall for older, larger dragons. I also use hemp-type rope a lot in my viv. I have wrapped all of the branches with it to give my dragons something to grasp and I've also twisted silk pothos and anchored them with zip ties to give the viv a nice green, jungle-type feeling and appearance. My dragons love to bask sitting on the rope. Cholla cactus (available on ebay)is also great for basking limbs as it has lots of little holes which the dragons can hold onto very well. My idiot dragons will jump 2 or 3 feet and I try to make sure they can get ahold of something! It's a miracle they haven't broken something! I don't have any pictures of the viv on a photoserver now, but if you want to see some, I can email them to you. I'd like to see your set-up also. I'm always interested in stealing unique features of other peoples vivs. LOL
