help with plant identification

[serenitystarlite]

Saw these 2 plants at the grocery store and I really like them but I'm wondering if anyone knows what they are and if they're safe for chams.

I bought the first one but if it's not safe, no big deal because I'll just take it into work or something. It wasn't labeled as anything but it looks like some kind of vine. The 2nd was labeled as "Ficus Burgundy" but I know it's not (the "Ficus Burgundy" is the one next to it in the picture but they were all labeled as that).

Thanks for the help!

They belong to the araceae family. They used in tropical vivariums sometimes, but are mildly toxic. I wouldnt use them for chams myself.

Do you think they're more toxic that pothos? My senegal doesn't eat plants so they might be ok for her but I don't think I would put them in with my veiled. But I know pothos are slightly toxic in the same way because they contain calcium oxalate crystals.

I would say they are more toxic then pothos. I use pothos for everything chams,fish,turtles and never have had an issue. The 1st photo looks like a philodendron which should be fine but the other 2 look like a aglaonema, which can make some peoples hands a little itchy and wont do well with a chameleon all over it.

What are some plants that chams can eat. Because i didnt even know they liked them until mine started munching on some ivy i put in her cage....and also how can i start my own forum?
