Plants Question

[mommycurzon]

One little question, I've got the 4ft LLLReptile cage ready to go but I wanted to add a tall plant. Gonzales however loves to eat plants so most of the popular ones (dwarf umbrella & ficus) that get some good height to them are not a safe idea according to the plants resources here

What other cham safe plants can I get that are tall and completely safe for him munch on? I'm searching for the dracaena but the stores here always label that type as "assorted tropical" and I'm not a plant expert to be able to tell the difference.

What about palms? We have lots of stores that carry beautiful Majesty Palms.

the two plants youve mentioned are fine. I would also recommend desert rose and pothos, desert rose is a plant that is in the veilds (im assuming you have a veild) natural habitat and the flowers and leaves are safe to eat, pothos is also good. (just dont mix it up with philedendron)

Thanks I ended up finding a gorgeous half price habiscus tree that I think he's going to go cooky for. Yay Home Depot.

Hibiscus is a beautiful plant for an enclosure. Make sure you have plenty of light in there or else the leaves will start to turn yellow and die. You may want to pick up a grow light, or keep the enclosure close to a window. With enough light, they are hard to kill (unless your cham eats all the leaves off. They seem to be my chams' favorite leafy plant to eat).

offer freash greens, collard greens and dandellion greens should help curb his hungery for you housed plants

Thanks I picked up a grow light for it last night. He's already got 2 regular habiscus in his old cage (they've been heavily chewed on LOL).

He hasn't liked most of the fresh greens I've offered him, he tends just to go after the habiscus. I haven't tried dandellion though, so I'll give that a shot.
