Hibiscus is a good colorful nontoxic plant for chams.

I have a beautiful peach hibiscus to be transferred into my chams adult cage when he is older. It's next to my pygmys cage now and will be next to his when he gets here. no problems.

so i can use a christmas tree and everything will be gravy?

Not sure if they are toxic or not but I wouldn't use a Christmas tree because of all the sap.

Free range on fake xmas tree for the holidays woot

 

[ChameleonsInMyHouse]

i'm kidding, my whole point of the question was for the poster of that reply to realize that even some non toxic plants arent suitable for other reasons. you cannot just put anything in there. non toxic tropical plants are what you're aiming for, and even with some non toxic tropical plants you have to be careful. all in all, every plant is toxic to some degree, but you still cant throw just anything in with your reptiles.

Fake xmas tree free range is still gona happen though

Does anyone know if palms are toxic?

 

[justjumpit621]

palms are usually safe. I have one in my free range. But they are ery flimsy and usually aren't suitable. Some have nice thick leaves though and they catch water great. I have umbrella trees, hanging pothos, a palm, and some fake vines and a fake 7 ft ficus tree. live ficus also work great, as well as yes hibiscus.

 

[KarmaChameleon1337]

Oh well I have a Senegal, they're very small, he can walk on it with ease.

I am on board for this one

Doing it!

 

[SamanthaElle]

I have been wondering...

For example pothos and rubber plants are non toxic...

they also have the variegated version of those plants. Are those non toxic too?

I assume they are

Anyone know?

 

[justjumpit621]

I actually think those are toxic but i don't know for sure.

i would figure people wouldnt try to put there chams in chistmas trees or plants thay may have sharp leaves but i guess common sense isnt relevant these days

It would make a good pic to put all ur chameleons on a xmas tree fake with soft pines and put a yellow carpet at the top for a star
