What are these trees/plants?

Pothos contains crystal oxallates that blocked calcium absorption.
again, I have used pothos with great success.. but, that is also due to the fact that my panthers have never obsessively munched the leaves.

Use your best judgment. If he start eating them too much, it is best to take them out of the enclosure. but, if he doesn't, then the pothos can stay.
Same thing goes for umbrella plants.

If you want a safe plant, go with hibiscus. He can gobble the whole leaves and the flowers if he wants to.


Through out the day when I am home I don't see any different bites in the plants. I have only seen him atleast bite at a leaf 2-3times. No other leaf as change for awhile. I do hang mustard greens but he doesn't seem to notice them and they just dry up. Any suggestions on that?
 
I know Montium. It is winter right now and I don't think I will find one of them now.

just be aware of his habit. If he started to eat the leaves obsessively, then I would considered taking the pothos out. BTW, do you gutload your feeders? if so, with what?
 
I would consider getting a better product than flukers.
Flukers isn't exactly a good gutload.

As far as fresh products, try:
kale, mustard greens, dandelion leaves (even the flower is good), collard greens, and apples.

As far as dry gutload, you can either mix your own (I have the recipee if you want). Or, you can try cricketcrack product.
Perhaps, by upping the quality of the gutload, you will lessened his habit of eating leaves.

Oh please give me the dry recipe! I already bought that gut loading and I will not buy another for now.. I use mustard greens, apples, and I could possibly go by collard which I was going to do. Dandelion leaves from store or outside?
 
I have had veiled females strip pothos plants of their leaves many times without it causing any problems. The females lived to be over 6.

If you can be sure the dandelion grows in pesticide free area.. sure why not?

otherwise, you can always get them at organic store or Korean Market.
Dandelions are quite the healthiest of the bunch.

As far as Pothos goes, I am a bit more cautious in my way of caring for chameleons. Pothos does contain crystal oxallates whether we like it or not.
Letting your cham consume a lot of them can possible prove to be detrimental to his health. Sure the cham can eat a lot of thing in the wild. But, it is also a fact that the general age of wild chameleon is shorter than the captive one.

I am more conservative in my husbandry. If I see my cham eating pothos excessively, I would rather take it out and give him some other plants that won't cause any problem.
PS: I send you a link to the recipee :)
