Another Plant Question

[Kecleon]

Hi guy's,

Do you guy's have any idea, what plant this is and if it's safe for a Veiled Chameleon?



Thanks in advance

 

[Kecleon]

Isn't there anyone out there that know's about this plant?

It appears to be a philodendron of some type, though your photos are not very clear. You can use it, but if the chameleon takes a special fondness to eating it, remove it.

All parts of Syngonium podophyllum plant is poisonous

 

[Extensionofgreen]

It's NOT syngonium.

 

[Hollywhyte]

It's NOT syngonium.

http://www.ourhouseplants.com/plants/syngonium yes it is and it is also poisonous

It doesn't look like Syngonium Podophyllum to me, but I'd need to see the entire plant to be positive. The picture on the left does look like a type of philodendron, especially the leaf in the back. I'd like to see some better pics to be sure.

Please post a clear photo of the plant and it's stems, leaves, and whatever structures you have available, laid out on a flat surface, so we can be sure.
Several aroid genera look alike and we need to see a clearer photo.
At any rate, ALL aroids, including the oft recomended pothos, contain high levels of oxalates, which is the "toxic" action of the plant. While some have high enough oxalates to pose a threat of stomach upset and general malaise, I don't consider them toxic, but recommend watching and in the case of philodendrons and monsteras, remove the plants, of the chameleon takes more than an occasional nibble.

Nearly all known "safe" house plants are poisonous or have some defense from plant eating animals. Can't say I've ever heard of a reptile dying from plant ingestion. I'm sure it has happened, but there is no real list of chameleon safe or dangerous plants. All poisonous plants are tested on humans, dogs, or maybe cats. I'd love for someone to do a real study on the more popular varieties of plants used in our hobby.

 

[Extensionofgreen]

It looks to be a philodendron. Use with good observation that the chameleon doesn't eat large amount. A nibble here and there won't do any harm.

Ok, Thanks Guy's
