~ igs hate change even more than *i* do, even when it's a *good* thing!!! LOLOL ... seriously, it'll prob'ly stress him out a bit for a day or 2, but he'll get over it and then he'll appreciate all the hard work you're doing!!! it sounds great!
if possible, keep his favorite basking/sleeping spot the same ... use the same branch or shelf in the new enclosure as in the old ... that helped iZ a bit cuz at least his favorite spot was the same ...
i use 2x2's and black plastic mesh to build shelves, ramps and climbing things ... (build a little frame out of 2x2's and staple the mesh around it) ... also i use alot of lattice ... it's great for putting up against the wall of the enclosure ... it adds to the looks *and* gives more climbable surfaces (can never have too many things to climb on!) ... then you can put fake vines on it ...
keep up the good work! let us know how *your* training is goin'! *grin*
