Help with new plant!

[jones5233]

Hey everyone,

I know you guys will guide me in the right direction. i bought a dracaena plant from a local walmart. It is like a tree/ bamboo lookin deal with a good amount of leaves. Questions: 1) Is this a good plant to use with my senegal cham. 2) How do i prepare it for his cage.

Thanks.
Eric

make sure you switch out the soil with natural soil or something like that so there are no fertilizer balls in it, also, place rocks on top of the soil to cover it in case your cham were to try and eat the soil...it could lead to impaction. and I am not sure about that type of plant, I'm sure others can comment about the plant.

I know you need to wash the plant off also. what and how is the best way.

yeah re pot with fresh soil..... while you have the roots up.... wash thouroughly and put in shower and wash everything nice..... then throw back into a pot... some dirt... rocks.... and your good.....some people use soap as well but thats only if you see small bugs on it..... or holes in the leaves...other then that you should be ok. let me know if you need a list of ok non toxic plants....
