there is a safe plant list here:

http://www.flchams.com/safe_plant_list.asp

I wouldn't trust it 100%, but its a good base.


The "standard" plants most people use are: Hibiscus, Pothos, Shefflera, Ficus

there are others i'm sure, those are just off the top of my head

most plants come with perlite and you don't want your cham to eat it. Also there can be fertilizer in the soil and on the plant. You want to remove all chances of a bug (crickets mostly) eating the soil or digging around in the soil and contaminating your animal.

Replanting also give the plant fresh clean dirt of your choice. It is a good idea to add sand to the dirt so water can flow through and not cause root rot. This is a good idea if you run a misting system.

when you say add sand do you mean mix it in or make a layer of sand on the bottom or top?

Safe flowering plants

Are there any safe flowering plants that you can put in their enclosures? Particularly orchids and other asthetically pleasing plants that if the flowers are consumed it's okay.
Thanks

I believe orchids are safe as well as Madagascar jasmine and the sensitive plant gets flowers and is a very interesting plant

Climber

Hey everyone, Im looking to convert some of my prosphetic plants into living ones in my yemen's viv. I would love for him to have another one of the glass walls to climb, and so was thinking of building a trellis and growing a sturdy climbing plant up the side.

I'm new to this and any recommendations of which safe plant to use would be appreciated!

Here's another plant list provided by Clean Line Chameleons.

http://www.cleanlinechameleons.com/safe-plant-list/

Clean Line Chameleons says this list was put together by UC Davis however I have not found this list posted on any UC Davis sites. Since I'm at UC Davis I'm going to attempt to contact the lists creator here at Davis and put a thourogh review of the plants listed. As of now I have only been able to have a quick look through and have not accessed the quality of this list. However, I'm definately going to have a close review this list and add more comments.

Thanks for sharing Motherload.
I hope you do indeed get to the bottom of this

I am thinking of an Umbrella plant for the enclosure.
Would this be a good plant and how do i ensure that it is decontaminated and safe for my baby cham?

There perfectly save. The guy I bout mine Cham from only uses them. And to make them safe repot them in organic potting soil. Then give them a nice swishy wash in anti bacterial soapy water and then raise well. Some People even get organic grown plants. Do the wash before you replant I hope that was helpful.

They are a couple of plants that are considered somewhat toxic. However many keepers have used them for their chameleons with no ill effect. Pothos and Ficus are toxic plants that are used for chameleons. I would monitor your chameleon make certain he is not leaf eating. However you should be OK. If you are not OK with monitoring your chameleon for eating leaf matter I would search for a new plant.
