how to put hammock up

[sarah91]

I bought two reptile hammocks today and the suction cups wont stay on the wood and back of viv.

I tried them on other surfaces and they work so I know it's the surface but I dont know how to fit them on now.

I was thinking glue dots or silicone but I dont want to damage the viv if I can help it and dont want to put anything in that could hurt my beardies.

Any ideas?

Since it's wood you could use a small finishing nail or screw.

If you used silicone you'd want to let it air out for awhile before putting your dragon back in. Silicons put off some nasty VOC's, you don't want to be breathing them and you definitely don't want your dragon to.

I work with silicone all the time in my line of work, and the one time I ever did in a not very well ventilated area nearly sent me home. It's some harsh stuff in an enclosed area.

Hi Brandon.
Thanks for the reply. Im just worried the babys would catch themselves on a screw/nail?

As long as you have it hammered/screwed in all the way, it should be flush against the wall.

there are also command strips. they have plastic hooks you can use.
any place that sells hardware has them.

Thats what I use for my reptile hammock. works great. And since the hammock is just hanging on the hooks it's easy to take out to make cleaning his tank easier, as well as cleaning the hammock.
