It is a bamboo. I had no idea it was toxic! I've researched many sites, but nothing really states if bamboo was poisonous to chameleons. One of those places I looked was even a forum aboiy reptiles: (http://www.captivebredreptileforums.co.uk/chameleons/8494-bamboo.html). I am taking it out asap...
I will make sure I keep a good eye on it! At first I was wondering if age was a factor, like a teething puppy, but that seemed odd for a reptile. And he doesn't try to chew on the other branches, just this one. Occasionally he will try to bite the plastic vines.

Thank you! And I think it looks bright because it was close to his basking branch by the heat bulb. I also have chicken wire mesh instead of the normal screen cage (such as the repti breeze), and that may contribute to the amount of light. When I bought the cage, it actually had plastic walls. I...
