Thank you very much. You're probably right about my dragon not feeling comfortable with the net. I bought this instead of the plastic mesh type of hammock after reading about dragons having their claws caught and ripped off by the very small holes. Anyway that's one less thing to worry about...

I forgot to add: With these three lamps, the hot side ambient is 36 Celsius and the cool side ambient is 29 Celsius. He never seems to visit the cool side or any of the caves/hides I put in the terrarium.
