Yea!!!!!!! catalaya orchids!!!!! I have a bunch that here in Tampa grow like weeds. Can't wait for my new addition to enjoy them as much as I do.

 

[Casket_Case]

Thanks for the list! This is so helpful!

Thanks for the list! This is so helpful!

This is from 2013. I did not look at the lists, but you may want to check into the plants you choose off this list.

I think it’s very cool you’re doing this. It sounds like a lot of work! I’m not sure anyone knows what’s actually safe for them unfortunately

The plant lists seem to fall into two categories. Dog and cat safe lists that are rebranded as reptile safe or lists of plants that people have seen Chams eat, the Cham didn’t die, therefore it’s safe. So basically either no evidence in reptiles or a little bit (or maybe a lot) of anecdotal evidence

honestly a list of plants with anecdotal reports of Chams eating them and dying might be more helpful

I saw some of the legitimate safe ones and this is one of the few lists that say Canna Lily which those are safe but not a lot of people talk about them because they’re hard to find in some places

I suspect most (or all) of these are probably safe. Pothos is full of oxalate crystals that are very irritating when ingested (for mammals), but a veiled chameleon will chew one up with no ill effects that we can notice

again, I think it’s a great project to poor through the lists
