Anyone know how to make a homemade Hammock?

Since I have some attaching points (logs, etc.) I was able to use pieces of the carpet I use for the floor. I just let it hang and they LOVE laying on them!

I made one out of a old towel... cut it to whatever size you want, for extra support you can double it up and sew them together or you could probably use fabric glue. Then just cut holes in each corner.
I had suction cups to hold it up, but it fell often. I bought the 3M hooks that stick with some sort of sticky stuff and it hasn't fallen once.
I personally used 1 layer of towel, not doubled up for a full grown bearded dragon. It is getting ragged but it was cheap to make and will be easy to replace.
Thats an old photo, don't use those suction cups... buy the stick on 3M hooks

The hammock I made large enough for him, he can fit entirely on it with extra room and can even turn around to get off. Sometimes he falls off... but the hammock has never fallen down with the 3M command hooks.
I know exactly what you mean about the other hammocks premade with suction cups... they always fall down. The one im my leopard geckos cage hasn't but I think its just because they don't weigh anything.
He is a cutie.... he loves his hammock and often sleeps with his arm hanging off!

Wow! this was a great idea... I love the way that bd's look on top of their hammocks and I had to buy one when I first got my first beardie but $10 ea. is a bit expenive when I can just do the towel thing and they will probably like that much better! oh and this hammocks falls off ALL the time!

I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.
