Really wanting to recreate in miniature the Chameleons natural habitat as my current viv is going to be too small soon. Any and all ideas as to the actual plants needed for this?. Viv decorations etc as I really want it to look great and be not too crowded it's going to take weeks to clean out :)
 
Most plants local to Yemen will not survive in a terrarium, though ficus' are known to be in Northern Yemen, so you could go with those! Veiled's generally hang out at the top of low growing Acacia trees, which would be next to impossible to mimic in a terrarium, though some ornamental (bonsai) ficus trees could pass, but they can't carry much weight.
 
Ficus is probably your best bet. I've heard good things about bamboo given that it's sturdy. Pothos will add foliage but not great for clibing. There's a great page if you look on here that give all safe plants
 
Yeah I read that, but Was just wondering which of those are actually able to be found in the natural Habitat, mainly wanting it to look Authentic and better than
this
I'm also wanting a plant that's not going to grow so big I need to buy the 3 flats above me to house it!!! as some of those on that list grow to 50+ ft and that is easy to care for (this is the guy that Killed a plastic Bonsai)
