I've read the live plant forum, but I haven't noticed any plants with flowers in any of your pictures. What plant are you guys using???

Oh and also, I have a baby cham so I'd need a small plant, not a 6 ft one! hehe Please give me some advice.

I have used hibiscus plants in the past... They have flowers

For my baby, I am using a Schefflera, but it does not have flowers.

Oh, I don't want flowers, I just saw that the healthiest plant has the flowers, and I didn't see it on anyones, so I was curious as to which plant u guys r using. Thanx How does the baby like the plant? does he eat it?

He doesn't eat it, but I have read that some will eat the leaves right off the plant. He loves the Schleffera, he spends 75% of his time there. I also have a fake plant in there, but he doesn't really like it, and since it is like a silk plant, the water dires off the leaves within minutes, while the schleffera will hold water droplets on the leaves for at least an hour.

It is a good plant for small chams, it has lots of little branches for him to crawl around on, I got mine at Home Depot, it has 3 schlefferas in 1 8" wide pot, it works nicely!

About how tall is it? I have 19X17 tank right now I think give or take a few inches.

The plant itself is about 16" tall, but with the pot and everything it goes almost to the roof of my 24" tall enclosure.

oh dang... well i can always cut some branches and stuff to make it smaller right? How's the upkeep of it?

You can get smaller or taller ones. The up-keep is easy in my opinion, I only have 1 5.0UVB bulb and a basking bulb, and the plant has lived for well over a month with no problems, I had a few leaves die and fall off, but it is relatively low-maintence, I never water it, I just mist it down really really good.
