Plants that can be eaten

[busterboy]

Hello,

I have fake plants and vines in my chameleon enclosures right now and found my male trying to eat the plants (poor thing) don't worry, I threw in 20 crickets afterwards lol

So I was wondering what type of plants are good to put in a chameleons enclosure that are edible and will still do a great job of being a perch for basking and foliage for my chameleon?

The most popular are pothos, ficus, sheffelera arbicola, and hibiscus. The flowers of the hibiscus are also cham safe to eat. These plants all provide branches and climbing avenues also.

ditto the above.
You would also have branches and possibly those fake twisty vines for additional walk-ways, especially horizontally.
You can also hang small pieces of romaine and kale and dandelion and basil and clover and very small bits of fruit in the cage (stabbed onto the ends of twigs or toothpicks strategically placed or hung with wire).
