Cham "jungle gym"

[Kclarke02]

Since my Cham has decided to bust out and explore, my new project is to make a sort of "jungle gym" for her to climb on. My rough plan is to get several wooden dowels, greenery and vines and make something she can climb on to get up high and explore. Yesterday she had her mind set to climb on my tv and everything around it! Every time I tried to redirect her, she immediately tried to go back. She appears to be somewhat hardheaded like myself lol! This was her walking across my tv....

Maybe she just want to be on TV

Ok so this is Bruce's jungle gym, at least for now. I refining this idea about every other day but this is what I got so far. He mostly makes it to the middle windows and stops. I'm going to hang more live plants to try to entice him all the way around

Haha! I think so too. She binge-watched the first season of "Pretty Little Liars" with me yesterday. She was set on exploring my tv and stand. Felt like I was babysitting a toddler, she wanted to go where she wanted!

I like it, and your pothos looks like the one I have, lots of runner vines. I've thought about hanging it on my sliding glass door so she can get some sun(although inside) and look outside. I took her out once on my balcony to free roam, but I now have spider webs and ants on some of my plants
Thanks to @Nursemaia i now have an idea of turning my old bird cage into a safe outdoor condo for her.

I'm more than sure she will love the plant by the door. The pothos is Bruce's favorite plant to eat lol and climb. I'm going to have my eyes out for one as well, its a great idea.

Ooohhhhh I like the idea of an indoor jungle gym. That's cute and looks like fun for your cham. I'd have to set up a designated room for that though, I have dogs and cats too. Your cham is so tiny and adorable @Kclarke02 . I have 2 veiled, male and female and both full of grumpiness. Is yours friendly?

i just have the one female, and she is grumpy and moody, although I feed her and help her venture out now. In the past few days, it really does seem like she's more tolerable of me. She still kinda shrinks back if I approach her, but I have a wooden dowel that I offer her to climb on instead of my hand. That has helped a lot, using something other than my hand. There have been a few times tho when she's trying to climb on something she can't, and she'll climb on my hand as a last resort.

She just really seems to have an agenda and knows where she wants to go. If I try to intervene, she tries to go back. Today she waited at her door to be let out but never did
