#2 looks like oleander so no, don't use it.

two out of three ain't bad

First one looks like a poplar, cottonwood, or some similar sp. Its safe. Second one I can't quite see enough to ID; I would need another picture, but it doesn't strike me as oleander. More like a willow, which would be safe, if that is what it is. Post another shot for me if you can. Third one is an Aeonium; its probably safe.

the 2nd one looks like oleander to me 2. but get a better pic to be sure

 

[james L]

The 2nd is NOT a oleander. Not sure what it is.

Here are some more pics. Do i need to do something to first one before i put it in its cage.

ok, it kind of looks like oleander. i have one in my front yard. The leaves do grow differently on the stems than that on. loook pretty close though.

Are oriental lilly's okay for the chameleons cage.

A wind in the ...

OK, the second one is a willow, which is fine. All the leaves are going to drop and make a mess, but you can pull it out before it disintegrates.

And no, oriental lilies are not safe.

dont use the willow the feeder insects love to hide in the leaves

Don't know what the middle one is. The first one looks like a succulent -- almost like Hen and Chick but I have never seen them on stalks. The final one looks somewhat like Aspen (with bugs on the under-leaf). Either way, I don't recommend using them untill you get positive ID, and the one with bugs, nix that one all together.

Positive
