Does anyone know what kind of plant this is?

I found this super cool plant but I have no idea what it is! The tag just said “burgundy”. The store didn’t know either 🙄 and is it chameleon safe? The leaves are really heavy duty so I feel it would be really nice to add to the enclosure. Thanks in advance!

Burgundy rubber plant?
If so...sap is a problem for chameleons.

Looks like Ficus elastica to me, but you know my eyes.
Some sites say no; others say yes. The concern is the sap, but is it an irritant to chameleons? IDK. 🤷‍♂️
Many plants are considered toxic to animals/pets, but chameleons—even veileds—are ok with them (e.g. Golden pothos)
