Default rankins, are they climbers?

i am thinking of getting my rankins a branch to climb on, do they like to climb?. I have got two big pieces of bark in the tank at moment but dragon just lays in corner at the other end. Does anyone think a branch would perk him up,he looks very bored.

Rankins dragons need branches and rocks to climb and bask on. Rankins will use branches, make sure their not too high so they cant fall and hurt themselves. make sure their not too low as to be boring and not much of a climb.
A pic of your set up would be nice so we cam help you further.

My bro has branches in his rankins viv and they love them, there constantly on the move and jumping and climbing up and down them all day. they also tend to rest on the branches.
We made sure the branches are wider than the body of the rankings so they have full support!
