I’m getting a chameleon in about 12 days and i still need help with branch positioning! I’m putting a potted birds of paradise in the bottom, and a lot more hanging plants in tommorow. I was told to put more branches in on the left and right sides but I don’t know what that means. Any advice is...

...plants and I start adding them in along with any additional branches needed to help support and even them out. I’m not so sure a bird of paradise is a good plant for a chameleon enclosure. While they are gorgeous and I love them, something like a weeping fig, schefflera or money tree is more...

Thank you so much! I will update soon with any improvements

...and vines of a combination of widths as well as a main basking branch for a highway as well as three trailing pothos, and a small bird of paradise. We have noticed he has never tried to eat any of the plants or dirt (we were very very cautious at first but it has been many months with NO...

Hello! I agree with @Gloriawood - super worms and wax worms are treat bugs. They are super high in fat and low in nutrition. I've attached the bug sheet for you to review :) I am currently feeding my chameleons, grasshoppers, crickets, silkworms, bsfl, bsf. My treat bugs are super worms...

...mins before lights on and 30 mins after lights out, for about 2 mins. Plants: all real; a few pothos, money tree, ivy, monstera, and bird of paradise. Feeding: ~4-6 gut loaded crickets 2x a day, dusted with repti-calcium without D3, and repashy LoD (2x a month). We tried hornworms but she...

the craziest rituals are the birds of paradise on Netflix. it is the weirdest thing but super cool. highly recommend you check it out. 😀

How big is your enclosure? Birds of paradise will easily outgrow anything 5’-6’ tall. I would recommend replacing it with veiled-safe plants, as veileds will try to eat anything

Opinions in the archives seem mixed... https://www.chameleonforums.com/search/1202761/?q=bird+of+paradise&o=relevance There's one thread with huge lists of safe & unsafe plants, but no source is given, so no way to verify.

A bit of follow-up... From perusing the archives and google, it appears the Strelitzia (Bird of Paradise plant) was labeled as "Chameleon safe" on a site called http://www.cleanlinechameleons.com/safe-plant-list/ which appears to no longer exist(?) I was able to view an archived image of the...

I have a bird of paradise in my veiled enclosure and have had it there for like 8 months now. No harmful effects from what i can tell, whatsoever. I put it in because originally we searched it up and it did not come up as toxic. And personally, based off my experience, it isn't.

Yeah it is - you think our plant light is just too close maybe ?

i agree its getting burned from lights - could be the heat from it, too. Is that a bird of paradise?

thank you!! i’ll definitely check these links out. i’ve read on facebook forums and some people on here that it’s fine so I figured we’d be okay. obviously I don’t want to risk anything. thank you for the sources I havent found many reliable sources on this matter

I read that it was safe - so that’s why I put it in and yeah it easily is outgrowing my enclosure, looking to replace it for sure. she has not tried to eat any of our plants as of yet. just thought it was funny she actually slept on the leaf like that.

Is your chameleon actively eating it though? When we say something is safe for a Veiled we do not know what long term potential damage could happen to organs etc. Something we have to be careful of when we recommend plants that are not actually out there as recommended Veiled safe plants. :)

Update on my plants situation I got dragon ledges finally! I am going to pick up my spider and snake plant today. I’m looking to hang my pothos off the dragon ledges but I’m having trouble finding pots that I can just hang sideways off of it. What kind of pots does everyone use? I’m only finding...

Whoa that’s my dram you have that many 😂

I really want a birds of Paradise but my husband won’t let me take a trimming from the local McDonald’s :rolleyes:

Lol you got me beat! I'm an obsessive person too(not by choice that my house isn't filled with critters 😬). I tend to get more carried away with enclosures and making them like a piece of art than I do with tons of animals. not that I wouldn't have loads of animals given the space... but I can...
