What is this tree and is it safe?

[TheMusicalCham]

I have this pretty tree in my backyard and I want to know if it's safe for me to put JuJu (my veiled chameleon) up there for some sun time.

If it's this one, just my guess, not sure at all, then it doesn't look like a good idea.

Please take a picture of the flowers. Social numb has a good guess, but I'd like to see the flower itself.

Trumpet Vine?

The other ones hang down

A close up of the flower and leaves would help a lot.

It looks like honey suckle.

That is a trumpet vine, not sure if they are chameleon safe or not. I doubt they are. I have a huge one in my backyard

Its a trumpet creeper vine and its flowers/sap will cause a rash and ingestion is mildly toxic

Personally, I'd be wary of putting a cham in a tree that large because it can easily get to an area where you can't retrieve it, or get snatched by a bird, or climb off onto the house or something nearby.

If you're going to bring your cham outside, I'd stick with a much smaller plant that you can access from all sides and that your cham can't move to another plant from without your supervision.

I wanted to cut off a branch with some of the flowers still on it because it's so pretty and I thought he would enjoy being up there but he probably would try to get onto the house lol he's so active. When I moved into my house the plant was already there so I didn't know what it was. But here's a better picture of the flowers I'll keep it to just putting him outside on his little hibiscus tree.
