So I am planning on getting a new baby veiled and I want to make sure the plants I have are safe. Ficus, hibiscus, Dracaena deremensis, Dracaena godseffiana, pothos, spider plant, and croton. should I be cautious about any of the plants I just listed?
 
The hibiscus is safe, and I have read that many chameleons enjoy eating the flowers it produces. Ficus benjamina contains a sap that can cause skin or eye problems just make sure to keep an eye on your chameleon, most people don't have problems with the ficus. The dracaena deremensis is safe to use. Pothos is safe to use. I believe I read somewhere that croton was safe to use, somebody with more experience please correct me if I'm wrong. The dracaena godseffiana should be safe to use. The spider plant should be safe.

Some chams eat plants and others don't - veileds tend to be more leaf munchers than panthers, plus it varies from cham to cham too. :D

My new baby veiled, Amy, loves to eat her Hibiscus plant! She has also munched her way through a few 'umbrellas' on her umbrella plant too and I've only had her 5 weeks! My last veiled, Lily, wasn't that bothered with her plants - I think I only ever saw her eat a leaf once in the year that I had her!
 
Mine who has only been living in her adult enclosure for about a week has a couple of wouthfuls of her one pothos every day when she gets up.
