Is this a Pothos plant?

[Sunkissedn]

Hello everyone!
This morning I posted a thread asking if my Chamaeleon was male or female and many of you advise me to add more plants to her habitat. I was thinking of buying an umbrella plant but then I looked at my balcony and realized that I have a plant that looks a lot like a Pothos plant but I do not want to add it in before getting an opinion from the Chamaeleon forum as to weather it is or isn't a pothos. I want to make sure it is safe for my beautiful Sage
And another thing:
I was reading last night that temperature needs to go down to 60° F for them at night, is this true? And if so, since it's summer, is it OK to have the AC on during the night?

Yes, that's a pothos. Just give it a good rinsing and use rocks larger that your chameleons head to keep him/her out of the soil.
Yes, it is ok to have the AC on at night. You just don't want to have it blowing directly on them or turned down too low.

Yes true . Just make sure Ac is not blowing in the enclosure.

Yes true . Just make sure Ac is not blowing in the enclosure.

Okay good good

The other thing you want to do is get her lay bin set up ASAP . She will lay eggs it does not matter if there's a male present . If she does not have a adequate place to lay she will become egg bound and that leads to death .

I have these coconut shell shreds my nearby pet store recommended, is that what I need with a deep bin or is it something else? Can I see pics please?

Can I use the coconut shell shreds instead of rocks? The rocks I've seen in all the pet stores I've gone to are tiny. I was thinking maybe cover the soil with it?

a mix of clean play sand and organic is the recommendation . Has to be at least 12 by 12 . Lots use a 5 gallon bucket or a trashcan .

Oh wow haha I almost freaked out! For a second I thought you meant inside the cage! I have a bucket I was going to use to plant cilantro in so that should work. And you said play sand? I can find it in the store by that name?

Okay, and when should I expect her to start laying eggs? She's 4-5 months right now

She could be as early as 6 month . In your pics I don't see big girl colors . Once she gets her big girl colors it could be 4 to 8 weeks before laying . You will see her wondering more . Down on bottom of enclosure. Here are classic colors this was 6 weeks before laying . Closer to laying you may see darkening of colors .

I see, so far all she's shown is green and rarely a little darker

Yes I have read cases of females never presenting with big girl colors , also being very young becoming egg bound . Its safest to have her lay bin ready and waiting all the time . Have you decided on a name ?

I am thinking of naming her Sage
By the way, update on the habitat

I have a few natural logs but I think they're too thick. Might add one or 2

Awesome did you give the plant a good washing ? If you have some 2 by 4s cut them to fit across the top of enclosure mettle to mettle you can hang the plant . Fasten with wire floral wire works great . Weave it through the screen and fasten to your 2 by 4 . Like this .

Woah! Your habitat is so nice! But what about the screen? Won't it pop out of I hang it or put ledges?
