Are these plants safe for my chameleon??

Hello, I have mentioned this in the replys of one of my other posts but I need it to reach more people before i put it in his enclosure, I have a yemen chameleon and have recently decided to add live plants so the set up. I went to the reptile shop to see what they had and what would be safe and they said just get anything labeled "edible" and they would be safe for anything, which all sounds fine, but I picked 3 (getting more diffrent ones soon) and took them home but realised they never told me the names of the plants and it doesn't say anywhere on the pot so I have no clue what I brought. I ended up back lurching them on google and using a plant identification app and I'm still unsure as to which ones are actually safe as one is showing up as toxic but I dont know if the it's showing up as a different type of plant. I think the purple on may be toxic but I dont know, I think the small one is a money plant, and I initially thought the other bigger green one was a spider plant but it doesn't seem to have the white marks that a spider plant usually has. Please help asap!! Thank you

I just gave you a reply in your other post. :)
Regarding the middle one, it is indeed a jade plant, which goes by so many other names which include money plant. It is not to be confused with fused with a money tree though. You have a type of crassula, while money tree is a pachira.

Screenshot_20250901_141115 appears to be a jade plant, a succulent. I wouldn't recommend for practical reasons I don't recall the toxicity or formal name.


Screenshot_20250901_141112 is definitely not a spider plant. Hopefully others will know more.


Screenshot_20250901_141117 looks like Tradescantia Purple Heart but I can't be certain. I use Tradescantia species in my enclosures but I have Jackson's and they are not plant eaters. If you have a veiled you will have to be extra careful on your plant selection.
