Plants for a baby?

[laurahlove]

I have the smallest reptibrezz, and I have a baby veiled chameleon and all I have is a giant fake vine and fake leaves. I really want to get some live plants for her to climb on.

So my questions, can I get plants for a chameleon that small? (2 inches or so)

Do plants need a special light?

What kind of plants could I get?

Thanks

I've always had luck with Schefflera aboricola and Pothos. Both I've used with both adults and youngins. I never had any special lights for these species, but I would bring the enclosure outside so the chameleon could get natural light, and also for the plants too, and they never really died.

Okay, my mom actually has some of those already lol. What about if I wanted something with like...flowers or something?

I know a lot of people use hibiscus, but I've never had any luck with them.

as little as your youngin is, be careful on not to over heat him if you take him outside. without the help of good natural sunlight, you are probably not going to get a hibiscus to keep blooming. its a great plant for good foliage though. shefflera, ficus, and pothos are all good ones too.

Yeah, that makes sense. I'll probably get a little shefflera for her or a pothos, until she gets bigger and I get her a bigger viv. I can't wait! I want to do the whole natural thing, I hate all of my fake vines and leaves.
