Plant safe for panther chameleon

My 18 month old panther male has recently started scratching at the door of his viv to come out. As soon as I open the door he launches himself straight onto me and spends quite a while happily climbing all over me. Whilst it is lovely that he's keen to be handled, it's happening every couple of hours and I hate seeing him scratching to come out when I don't have time to sit and handle him for an hour! I'm thinking I'd like to get some big house plants in pots that I can get him let him roam around in. Can anyone advise which plants would be best please? I would like something fairly big and sturdy and must obviously be safe for him. Thanks in advance.

My guys are the same way except I don't use cages and they are trying to get down off their trees to come down and hang out on me. I often feel guilty that I don't have more time for each one of the 5 to hang out on me. If this is just going to be a part time free rang with no misting and dripping then use a fake ficus from Michael's art supply store or WalMart may have them. If it's a permanent free range a live ficus also works very well.

Check your safe plant list, then use google to see what they look like before you even go to the store. :)
