Fascinating development! Describes a classic cline. I found this over at phys.org: http://phys.org/news/2015-05-species-madagascar.html I've never read these authors before; here is a link to a related article: http://www.nature.com/ncomms/2015/150302/ncomms7368/full/ncomms7368.html

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but greenhouses are not good environments for animals; the temperature swings are extreme. I would not consider it without advanced automated controls. These are complex and expensive. Because the greenhouse glazing blocks the needed UV rays, you will still...

Omg Here in California, we get even better deals! I am super-excited to get 4' Scheff. arboricola for $5, and ginormous 8" pothos hanging 6' plus for $12. Beat that.

Hypoestes - "polka-dot plant", also marketed as "splash" is not poisonous to mammals or birds, and I would not think reptiles either. It IS pretty wimpy and will be wrecked within a short time as animals walk on it. I would not put it in an enclosure.

That is a temperate species that needs a winter dormancy; it won't make a good houseplant in the long-term.

A def NO to Dieffenbachia; I am one of the few who does not see any danger in the rubber tree, Ficus elastica, but I don't keep veiled chams either. Best to pass on both.

A nice video and some images appear in an article at phys.org: http://phys.org/news/2014-08-chameleon-species-mozambique-sky-islands.html

Urbio systems are bunk. They can't hold up the weight of a plant with wet soil, let alone a climbing chameleon. Rig something better yourself.

These are not known to be toxic, but neither are they good choices for a chameleon environment. Blue oat grass is an outdoor plant, and will not thrive indoors. Majesty palms are cheap, but quickly run into problems in the house - I don't recommend them. Dracaena 'Massangeana', is more suitable...

I don't recommend it - it is much more challenging and expensive to control temperatures in a greenhouse than in the house. Here's a thread to read: https://www.chameleonforums.com/greenhouses-35607/

Sorry to say, you are probably seeing the "flowerpot mushroom" - Leucocoprinus birnbaumii. Drainage is not the issue. This fungus can live in any organic soil. Repotting will not eliminate it. Fortunately, it is not dangerous to plants, or to people, unless eaten in large quantity. Hint: don't...

Nope. Neither of the plants called "vinca" are safe. Better to leave those planted outside out of animal enclosures.

I am a big "bleach believer" - it is the best cheap sterilant, and is very safe for terrestrial animals. Every zoo and animal importer I ever worked with used bleach. If it only killed Coccidia...

I can not find any suggestion in the literature that this plant Polyscias filicifolia ("fern-leaf aralia") has been responsible for any poisonings. Your plant is not a "ming aralia". Some members of this genus are used to stun fish, so I would not use it with any herbivorous species, just to be...

I am so sorry to hear this - I hope your eggs are OK. Here is my similar tale of woe...

"Baby's tears" are safe, but require a large area to grow, and might eventually become an issue with droppings lodged in the foliage. First pic looks like a Peperomia sp.; most are safe, but too brittle and fragile for anything but the smallest species of cham. Second pic is a bit harder to...

Please, tell us more about your findings of reptile gizzards.
