Live plants!

[Dragoness]

I'm so excited, I'm going to get live plants today! I have about 50$ to spend on the plants, it's gonna be great!

Have you got an idea of the types you want? There is a few "safe plant" lists for chameleons around if you search. You can't go wrong with real plants!

 

[Dragoness]

I have a list. Are monkey trees okay?

 

[Deevo]

If you can even find one of those maybe lol. I would suggest a umbrella or money tree instead. Also I think the "needles" on the monkey tree might be a little to abrasive for the chams skin

I fount a monkey tree, no umbrella and I have a pothos picked out

Ide be apprehensive on even a money tree. They are relatively new and not on the safe list. However I know a few use them with no negative effect.

Ficus
Hibiscus
Pothos
Umbrella are the most common.

It is probably mis-labeled as monkey trees; they are endangered so I doubt they would be on the commercial market, but hey stranger things have happened. If you can't find an umbrella tree try a dwarf Fiscus, they are usually pretty common house plants.

Arg, no umbrella! Not anywhere!

 

[Dragoness]

Sci name is Pachira aquatica

 

[Deevo]

thats a money tree. I haven't used one myself as I have a umbrella tree, however with my experience I don't see why they would be unsafe. Try for one that is male so it will not bear any fruit.

 

[Dragoness]

How do you tell male from female?

 

[Deevo]

I honestly don't know if the money tree is monecious or dieceous (has both male + female parts or either or). However I think I may just be confusing you as I think the people selling the plants have already done the homework knowing these would be purchased as indoor plants in homes. So the trees in the store are probably male; no fruit.

 

[Dragoness]

Well, I got my plants. Gotta treat them

Money tree

I recently purchase a money tree for my veiled and she love to eat the leives. Now reading a few posts I'm wondering if it's safe for her (non toxic)?

Are the leaves toxic ? I am interested to know I would like to place one in my enclosure as well. Thank you
