Golden Capella??

[jdog1027]

I am by no means knowlegdable about plants. I KILL plants... I've always used fake stuff in my cages. I know there is alot of people who frown on this, but so far I've never ran into any problems. But, I think I'm going to try some real stuff. I saw a poll on an old thread on here, and Schefflera and Ficus seemed to be the plant of choice. A couple of questions: Is a Schefflera arbicola and a Golden Capella the same thing? I was looking around Lowes the other night, and they have both- but they appear to be identical specimens. The only difference I could find was the price. And also, the link below I found categorizes S. arbicola under a POISONOUS plant. This seems to conflict with what everyone says about them being safe for chameleons. Any opinions welcome...

i think it is a little toxic but not overly dangerous, your cham would have to ingest alot of it before anything bad would happen, if you notice your cham frequently eating the leaves, id suggest taking it out of the cage.

Dwarf Scheffs are safe.
