reptibreeze cages

[matrex1990]

hi all i have the biggest reptibreeze. firstly how do you make repairs?, also how best to attach vines to the cage with out ruining the cage as I've made a few holes accidental. photos of pages would be grateful. also how would i fit a monsoon rain system in this cage ? as the dripper system just floods the place

Not sure what you mean by repairs. Could you post pics?

The best way to attach vines, I've found, is to use zip ties. Small ones can fit through the screen with very minimal damage, if any.

well i was using bendy wire but often it can make a larger hole and i have a few holes in the cage where i was cleaning and a bamboo cane went through

This is pretty much how I do it. I just put a dowel rod (home depot or Lowes) that will hold the weight I will be using. I never have to bother with any thing except the cord I put the plant on. I use wire to hold the plant on the dowel, BUT I use really thin wire, so I make sure the wire holds the cord securely, but is so close to the top, the cham can't hurt their feed. Very easy cheap method that does not hurt your cage.

Now fixing your cage? The easiest way is to rescreen the piece with the hole in it. Usually you will need to take the cage apart. If you don't know how to rescreen, check with Home Depot or Lowes. I think either one could show you. If I can do it, anyone can.

If you get small holes the best way is to just cut a square piece of replacement screen to cover it from the outside and use the wire out of like bread ties to tie it in. Or any thin metal wiring. it doesn't look too pretty but makes up for time and functions as it should .

You can actually re-screen those cages. You just need to take the spline out of the groove. Cut your screen.And then re-spline it. Just like any other type of screen you would see around your house.
