Bought a Hammock!

[Daeyang]

So I recently ordered a hammock on amazon! I recieved it yesterday; so the first hour of it in my beardie's tank, she would not stop stareing at it.
Second hour she tried to take a bite out of it (probably cause its green) and immidetly noticed it's not food.
Fourth Hour, I left for an hour, she was sitting on it basking with her mouth open and happy as ever

Great bought!! And sticks great!
Will upload pics!

I, too, bought a hammock from Amazon and Spike likes to go underneath it!! I will put him on top but I don't think he knows what to do....just lay there and enjoy!! So he gets himself down and goes back under it....silly beardie....

I bought a green hamock from Petsmart earlier in the year, and I think Spike loves it. He is always up there basking.

Do you have your hammock up high where he has to climb into it? Right now....mine is about 2-3 inches off the ground. Maybe if I put the hammock high in his basking area....maybe he would use it??

Would likely be better to have it closer to the basking spot where the temps would be warmer. Makes no sense to put something that you want it to use in a position where it won`t receive proper heat & UVB coverage. Generally better to be higher, if you want it to bask on it, it has to be where the basking temps & UVB are, common sense. Setting things up so they have to climb to where they want to be, gives them some exercise.

OK....thanks Germ....will rearrange viv tomorrow. Does a beardie adapt to changing their viv around?? adding stuff? taking stuff out?? etc etc etc

Minor changes are ok providing they aren't continually changing. Major rearrangements &\or additions\removals is very similar to rehoming them & there may be an acclimation period. At times moving things to be more effective is necessary.

Your dragons will love them..All of mine spend time on it during the day and then sleep under it at night.
