Hello,
Im new to the forum and wanted to know what other plants are good for chameleons besides pothos and umbrella? Also can someone tell me if a fig tree is non toxic. Im figuring it is since u can eat the figs but am not sure after reading the bellow...
Toxicity
The latex of the unripe fruits and of any part of the tree may be severely irritating to the skin if not removed promptly. It is an occupational hazard not only to fig harvesters and packers but also to workers in food industries, and to those who employ the latex to treat skin diseases.
Leaves: Fig leaves are used for fodder in India. They are plucked after the fruit harvest. Analyses show: moisture, 67.6%; protein, 4.3%; fat, 1.7%; crude fiber, 4.7%; ash, 5.3%; N-free extract, 16.4%; pentosans, 3.6%; carotene on a dry weight basis, 0.002%. Also present are bergaptene, stigmasterol, sitosterol, and tyrosine.
Was curious about the fig tree cause i have a small one planted in the backyard and figured and figured when i get my chameleon i could let him crawl around on it with like the sprinkler on or somthing
