wot kind of live plants are suitable for my veild and are easy to get hold of
because my veilds started munching on the artificial plants i have every so often?

flchams.com has a large list of useable plants, the most common being hibiscus, shefflera arboricola, pothos, and ficus. You do want to be careful with the last two if your cham eats alot of plant.

They have a few sizes of Schefflera (Umbrella plant) and Ficus (Weeping Fig) at B&Q in the houseplants section. They also sell Pothos which is also (rather innapropriately) named Devil's Ivy. Hibiscus are a fave of leaf munching chams, but I think they are out of season over here now. I got mine from a Thompson's Garden Centre. Any plant will need to have the leaves washed in soapy water and rinsed well to remove any pesticide residues. You may also wish to repot the plant in organic soil or cover the soil with river rocks to prevent your cham from eating any soil.

I'm pretty sure its toxic, I have one that I keep high so my dogs don't eat it and vomit all over the house.
