Ok I’m getting a valid Chamaeleon an I wann put a mix of fake an real plants together I also heard of valids eating plastic or silk plants anyone got any thoughts on this ? Or experience
 
You can get lots of plants that look cool, that are live. The risk with fake ones is veiled tend to eat vegetation, and if they manage to eat a chunk of fake plants it could cause major problems, such an an impaction. They could also damage their mouths in the process of trying to eat a fake plant.

Normally veiled are less inclined to eat fake plants, but the risk is still there. You have to put your chams needs first.. despite if something looks cool. :)

There is lots of plants out there that are safe, some do have a fair bit of color. Such as wandering jew, grows fast and colorful. Bromeliads are more of an accent plant (as is wandering jew) but they are colorful as well, when in bloom.
 
*IF* you do decide to go the fake route... silk leaves are safer than the plastic ones but I use the word safer loosely.

If you decide to add in some live plants, this video might be helpful:
