Live plants?

[sibeers]

Hi guys!

I'm thinking about getting one or two live plants for my Veiled and I was wondering what would be the best for a small cham. I've had her for about 8 weeks and she is still pretty small as well as her cage: 18x18x18 in screen.

Any suggestions would help!

I like Pothos... I hang it from the top of the enclosure to near the bottom and then encourage the vines to grow up (instead of hanging) and around the other "vines" and branches in the cage.

Here is a good blog post about various plants for inside your cham's cage:

I Put in a jasmin in mine and my little guys loves it.... I also bought a potho but it was a little plant so I am getting it bigger before I put it in the cage.

A quick google search showed the leaves and flowers of Jasmin as toxic if ingested.

those sound like good suggestions.

are any of these able to fit into a 18x18x18 cage?

Pothos can be bought really small for a buck or two at Walmart. They do grow like weeds, so you can get several small ones or move to one a little bigger.

Quicker and better google searches show that Jasmin plants are on the CHAM SAFE LIST.... http://www.flchams.com/safe_plant_list.asp... They are bad for cats...
