Anything wrong with these fake vines?

Hey guys!

So I need to fill in some more of Espio's terrarium since his pothos doesn't seem to want to grow. :rolleyes: I went to Petco today to buy some of their terrarium fake leaves, but the long ones are $20 bucks each and I would need 3 of them. Instead of spending $60, I turned to the internet. I found some fake vines with leaves on them for less than $10. Before I buy them though, I want to make sure there isn't anything about fake plants like these hurting chameleons. The vines aren't originally made for animals, just decorating. What do you think? Is it safe to buy for the terrarium? I would make sure to wash them well before putting them in there.

Here is the link to the ones I was looking at. - http://www.amazon.com/Artificial-Green-Garden-Plant-Leaves/dp/B0055BMM6O
Thanks for the help!
 
Yeah, those would be ok.

However, you may wanna run to your local Hobby Lobby (or even Michaels). They have a bunch of vines with bigger leaves. Hobby Lobby has 50% off quite a bit.

Regarding your pothos not growing, do you have a plant bulb? I have this double fixture that has UVB as well as a 6.5k bulb to help plant growth. My schefflera plant has thrived since I ordered it.

They should be fine, but just be careful that he doesn't try to eat them. Veileds are known to do that, so it's something to really keep an eye on.

Awesome! Thank you guys! I just didn't want to do anything that might make Espio sick.
Big Gulp- I will run to Hobby Lobby tomorrow and see if I can find something better. :) And I will look into that plant bulb. I have the worst luck with plants inside or outside. :(
 
I thought of another question. There is an earthworm or 2 in my pothos. I doubt Espio would ever encounter them since they tend to stay in the soil and he doesn't usually go by the soil unless he's chasing a stray cricket. Is it OK for them to be there though? I don't plan on him eating them, but on the off chance one makes a break for it and climbs out of the plant, will it make him sick?
