Cat Palm??

[Wildwilson]

Anyone know if a cat palm is ok in a chams enclosure?

Never heard of cat Palm...can you post picture?

The only issue with the Cat Palm that I see is that it wont provide much support for a chameleon's weight. I don't think that the fronds are sharp on the edges so that shouldn't be an issue. I also don't think they need that much light so it could work out in indoor enclosures. Slow growing too!

Noah, this is not a good attitude when choosing plants for chameleons. There is nothing about a plant which visibly indicates whether it may be toxic. You have to look on safe plant lists and not just shrug your shoulders and assume it's fine

I’m sorry. I did do research on it I just didn’t post an explanation Sorry

In case you ever need to check the species and safety of a plant, go to this website: http://flchams.com/chameleon-safe-plant-list/

It is the most extensive list I have seen on the web so far, and most chameleon owners use it as their go-to. You probably already visited it when you were doing your research, though.
