Is photinia okay for chameleons

[BirdieF18]

Hi I'm my screen cage i bought a plant called photinia because i couldn't find the ficus or pothos etc. I picked this plant in faith as i saw it on here http://www.cleanlinechameleons.com/safe-plant-list/ thinking i was doing things right until i recently found out that they are toxic when eaten. When eaten they release cyanide. It said it was safe on here so will it be fine can i please get a reply quickly. Thanks a lot

I don't know anything about that plant but if you researched it and found that it releases cyanide when ingested, I wouldn't take that chance. If you use it, you'll have that knowledge in the back of your mind and you'll always be worried about that "one time" when your cham decides to eat it. It's just not worth it. Maybe someone with firsthand experience with the plant can say otherwise...

I just started using some with no problems, down here in South Texas they grow like a weed in the heat and can take a good amount of water too.
Hmm. In everything i look up I didn't come across cyanide?

If there is no studies or proof I wouldn't be concerned. Every plant can be toxic if ingested in large amounts.
