I just got some supplements tongs a vine and a pothos, hibiscus and alocasia

As noted on https://www.madcham.de/en/pflanzen-fuers-terrarium/
alocasia has a cautionary note that it contains Ca-oxalates and oxalic acid.
It does not appear on any of the other known safe lists as being chameleon-safe.

I would not use this plant in/with a veiled chameleon that is more likely to sample or ingest it.

Ok

 

[Thatcher]

Do you know any plants like alocasia that are fine?

 

[Thatcher]

Some of the philodendrons resemble it slightly.

It does not.

What plants do you guys think use for water droplets?

Whatever plants are in the enclosure—they all get misted.

 

[Thatcher]

Ok just making sure I don't need special plants for water

Just found out Chameleons fart! If I knew earlier I would have had one now!

 

[Klyde O'Scope]

All lizards fart.

Yes, lizards can and do fart. However, a healthy reptile will not produce much gas in their gastrointestinal tract. As such, farting is not common nor should you expect it regularly from your lizard.

Like many animals, lizards fart to release trapped air and gas within their bodies. It comes from two main sources:

1. To release air that is swallowed when they eat. Nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and oxygen are the primary external gases found in the body and collectively make exogenous air.
2. To release gas that is created through digestion. Intestinal gas is produced in the lizard’s body when their colon breaks down their food; this is endogenous gas. Endogenous gas comprises mostly of oxygen, methane, and other gases, which gives farts their recognizable smell.

So despite everyone telling me not to get a chameleon from petco I went there and they were so cute my mom and dad liked them and I'm thinking if I get it from there I can take it to the vet (only buying if it looks ok) then see if it looks ok then great! If not I can take it back within 2 months. I does seem like they are doing an ok job housing and taking care of them they have the correct lighting food, supplements and hydration, so I could get lucky but I'm still deciding I'm going to look again at them to see their health and if they are unhealthy I will be purchasing from framschams. Still need my cage just thought I would update you on my thoughts.

 

[ERKleRose]

Not all health signs are visible. Definitely go with FramsChams instead, they're an awesome and reputable breeder!

 

[Thatcher]

Ok I have decided drum roll bun bun bun bum bun bun bun bum bun bun bun bum I will buy from framschams instead because then I will fell better about it's health and give it a long happy life.

 

[Klyde O'Scope]

I'll second FramsChams (or any reputable breeder) over a big box chain.
