Another great popular plant to grow in the chameleon cage. Ficus is popular due to its relatively high humidity and temperatures requirement and prefers regular misting. Ficus is a tropical plant with many varieties to choose from. Some varieties can grow to over 6 feet tall.
There are many different types of ficus plants available to choose from. The following are recommended safe for chameleons, which is the weeping fig and willow-leaved fig. These ficus types have leaves that are safe for the chameleons to eat and won’t cause any harm to them.
On the other hand, I recommend staying away from these ficus varieties: Zulu fig, fiddle-leaved fig, and the creeping fig. These types of ficus are known to cause animal poisoning and may cause harm to the chameleons.
When handling ficus plants, certain people have developed an allergic reaction to the sap. For that reason, when you’re pruning the leaves, make sure to wear eye goggles and gloves to avoid an allergic reaction.
