Lighting and heat

I use pothos plants. They have lots of leaves, have strong vines and hold humidity good.
For all my cages I go to the Container Store and got a container that fits inside the bottom of my cage. I attach a piece of screen over the top and tape it down w duct tape and let all the water (from dripper, misting and fogger) go where it goes. I open the bottom of the cage when I get home and dump it. I can see their poop most everyday. My plants hang from a zip tie, thru the screen and something strong (wood, metal pole) stretched across the top. Here is a couple pics
 
The plants really won't be that expensive. They sell good size pothos for like $10.

I just bought 2 that have multiple vines hanging down about 20 inches, they were 4.98 each at home depot :). They are super cheap, I only wanted to put 1 in the cage but they were so cheap I was like I will buy 2 lol.

What do i have to do to maintain a ficus tree in my cage
Nothing really, maybe a CFL that puts off in the 6500 range for growth, but if you water your cham right the plant will pretty much take care of itself. That's provided the cham don't eat too much of it's leaves I have had some destroy a Ficus.

What is a cfl
 
Usually means they are cooling themselves down. My old man, he is jackson and they are montain, sits w his mouth open sometimes, I think he just likes to hold it that way.But sometimes it means they are having a respiratory issue. If he holds his mouth open and you hear him breath he needs to get some baytryl from the vet
