So I have been looking around on the site and well I have noticed that a lot of people have a hammock. Is a hammock worth it? Will my beardie fall in love with the hammock and never want to leave it. I just want to know peoples opinions and experiences with the hammock. THANKS
All 3 of mine love their hammocks, although right now only one of them has one, heh. But yea, they all love them so much that if the hammock is moved to the cool side of the tank, they'll sit over there on the hammock and not bask - so I compromise and put it just under the basking light so that they can climb from that spot to the hammock. Seems to work well. My girl with the hammock now will bask for awhile then scoot onto the hammock when she's had enough, but it's close enough to the light that she won't get chilly sitting on the cool side.

Both of mine have hammocks, blankies and pillows and sleep on them every night. I have put them on the cool side and take them out during the day and put their trees back in to play on.
