What kind of plants for my veiled chameleon's cage?

[Buttons002]

I just got a 8 month old veiled chameleon and his cage is a 2 x 2 x 4 foot screened cage. His previous owner had only artificial plants in the cage with him, but I would like to add some live plants. I was wondering if anyone has ever used a peace lilly in a chameleon cage and if it is a safe plant to use. I have some hibiscus plants, but they have been growing outside and way too large to fit into the cage. Would like to be able to have something that has flowers that are safe and colorful. Any suggestions?

Welcome to the forums. I really like the Pothos it seems to hold the water for a long time and also does quite well inside. The Ficus and Schefflera also do great indoors. The Hibiscus is a favorite of the veileds but needs allot of light so your need to use hibiscus outside or have a couple to rotate from inside to outside for sun. Your plants will need to be washed and rinsed well and replanted before you use them. Use organic soil and buy large river rocks to cover the soil so your cham will not be able to get to the soil. Make sure the rocks are very large so the cham cannot eat the rocks.
