Plants for viv ?
Hi all I'm a newbie to cham keeping so have an abundance of questions for you! I have got a yemen cham so the petshop owner thinks it is! It's not a young un body is about 8-9" long not including tail, he came with a complete set up i.e viv,heat pad, basking lamp and repti glo 5.0uvb lite. I would like to put some real plants in and wondering which were the best for him? also would like to get him a bigger climbing branch is there any varieties of tree that are unsuitable for him. Regarding the plants if I get them from a garden center should I wash the leaves or change the soil to avoid any poisonous insectacides they may have used on the plant ? I live in uk if it makes any difference !
Thanks all will have many more questions for you I'm sure !

you have a nice veiled chameleon. any live plant you put in the cage with him will be devoured ficus, hibiscus trees will be good both edible and good for him you can also feed him romane lettuce and collards

always wash your plants down first the soil will be fine beside if you cover the soil it will just be a hassle watering them. put a feeding dish in the cage for him that way the food is all in one spot and you can make sure he is eating

I think they perfer ficus the most. Hibiscus are pretty but the wrong temps and they die off.
