Ficus or Hibiscus?

[fubekka]

So many cham keepers recommend the ficus, but i've heard it can cause eye problems for the cham. I've heard nothing but good things about the hibiscus, but i can't seem to find a place to buy them online. Would anyone mind debunking the ficus myth and/or post a link to buy the right kind of hibiscus online??
Thanks

Its true that ficus can cause eye problems, however its only the sap, but other than that they are great. So just be careful if you are trimming it to make sure to get all the sap washed off before letting your cham back on it. Hibiscus' are 100% completely safe, however they are known to die indoors, so what most people do is, buying two and have one outside doing nicely and then swap them when one of them starts to wilt.

Do you know a place that sells hibiscus trees for chams? I know lllreptile sells the ficus

I don't know who sells them online but, I usually find mine at Home Depot or Osh.

Ficus' are so much easier to keep! Cut back the bottom branches every now and then and it starts to grow up into a tree.
