ok! i know your just trying to get info and im not tryin to be a douche but try to keep the threads down if its gonna be about the same thing. just use your original thread. try to look through the search function. if your cham is stubborn just take the plant out for the time being till u can find a way to better cover the soil. ive already seen my veiled try to bite the fake leaves in his cage so i will get him a plant soon. but make sure u do your research on plants too. make sure their not toxic. a hisbiscus plant will be fine.

I've heard it proposed that trying to eat rocks and soil could be related to a nutritional deficiency. I've also heard it said that the shape or shine on a rock or pebble could cause a chameleon to consider it a possible prey item.

Consider completing the "how to ask for help" questionaire, in particular detailing your feeding /supplementing practices.

You might put landscaping fabric over the soil/rocks for the time being.
