hi i am thinking of putting a potted plant in the bathroom for my cham to go on whilst the shower is on would anyone recommend a certain plant well tree ha, any idea i would be very grateful,

Here's a list of good plants in general. In terms of plants that are both safe for chams and will hold up well to a gentle shower, I would probably favor Schefflera (umbrella plant, umbrella tree). Ficus (fig) comes in good sizes and might be good - it's a good cham plant - but some drop their leaves pretty readily when experiencing any change in conditions - such as a sudden showering.

You probably already know this, but you'll want a gentle, lukewarm shower, with enough of the plant out of the flow of water for your cham to decide when to go in and out, and how wet he wants to get.

Sorry 'bout the bad link; thanks, Syn and RSGriff for putting it straight. I've tried to edit my post and fix it, but Safari is doing Something Mysterious.

If she's got white urates, she's probably a Furtive Drinker, not letting you watch.
