Too Much Foliage?

[Poptartjake]

Sorry for the extremely brief post, but I don't have much time now'a days for perusing the forums like I want to. Anyways, I recently put in a Lilac for my Veiled as the Pothos I had been using wasn't working out for various reasons. Now, I am just worried that it is a bit much foliage even though he seems to enjoy it. Any advice on trimming it? He likes the heavy foliage near his basking spot and his temps are the same as before adding the Lilac (~83-88F). Should I just leave it alone?

As you know Veilds are plant eaters. Are you sure that lilacs are safe for them if they were to eat it? I would double check that, especially the flowers.

It's on Flchams safe list. I assume thats considered a universal list for different species of Chams

I don't think we could ever have "too much" foliage

I agree, foliage is a good thing. I kept a Lilac bush in one of my walk-in encloses for a few years til I think too much water killed it. So if you have a dripper going, try to rotate it in and out, to let the soil dry out good before getting it wet again.

When you open the cage door and the foliage springs out and you can't get it closed again.....yeah, that might be too much.

If the chameleon is flung out when you open the door, you might want to trim it down…
