Is glue toxic to chameleons?

I'm beginning to decorate my cham's new enclosure and have encountered a mild issue that I need resolving. As no substrate is being used, how should I attach logs/sticks to the base so they can stand upright? My thought is to use glue however I'm not sure if this is toxic to the cham?

Does anyone know if glue or perhaps certain glues are toxic or dangerous to the cham? If it is, how could I safely attach something to the base of the enclosure?
 
Not sure about the composition of all glues, but it's always been my experience that once they are dry they are fine. However I wouldn't put them in the enclosure with your cham when wet because I feel the fumes could definitely be harmful. I hope this is helpful maybe someone with knowledge of the effects will chime in. But for what it's worth I have had no ill effects after the glue has dried I usually use silicone. :)
 
I would use aquarium grade silicone, it has to cure for a while after being attached to be completely safe, but after the curing period, it would be safe.
