Pothos Questions

[LizardLover0261]

I have a veiled juvenile and I have just recently introduced a golden pothos to his enclosure. I have noticed some "damage" to leaves and I was thinking he may be eating it. I'm just curious as to wether or not pothos is 100% safe for chameleons to eat. I'd appreciate any feedback. Thank you.

No need to worry. Veiled are known to eat plants. My male Veiled occasionally eats portions of the pothos in his enclosure. No negative effects to date.

My panther eats them too. I keep a eye on him in the morning and draw his attention away from them by offering him some butter worms , that helps big time.

back in the day it was considered the only 100% safe cham plant by many keepers. Ficus and pothos are probably the most widely used plants for at least 20 years. Though I have heard of a few issues with ficus sap but have never heard of any problems with pothos.

Just keep in mind that it can be toxic to dogs and cats.

No need to worry. My veiled practically killed the pothos I had in his cage...
