If you are asking about a Swiss cheese plant or monstera, it is in the philodendron family so it is safe.

I’m not sure, but you’ll probably need a strong plant light.

Yes, the Monstera (swiss cheese plant) is great, the vines get thick too, they will support a fully grown chameleon, they do pretty well in low light conditions too, but its best if you have a plant light.

Cheese plants, also known as Monstera deliciosa, are not toxic to chameleons. However, it is important to note that chameleons are arboreal (tree-dwelling) reptiles, and they require a specific type of vegetation in their enclosure. They need plants that can support their weight and provide hiding places, as well as humidity and proper lighting conditions.
Cheese plants may not be the best choice for a chameleon enclosure because they are not ideal for climbing and may not provide the necessary hiding places. Instead, you may want to consider using plants such as Ficus trees, Hibiscus, or Pothos, which are safe for chameleons and provide more suitable climbing and hiding opportunities. It is important to research and choose appropriate plants for your chameleon's specific needs and to make sure they are not toxic to your pet.
