Seeing as I have just knocked the top of the umbrella plant for my new cham, I will now be going to get a new one Laughing

what types have you all used successfully, I have used umbrella obviously, ficus, and most recently devil's ivy (which I love) I see on the citrus tree thread you can use banana plants, and lemon trees, any others?

Apparently Hibiscus and Begonia are quite good. Pretty too Wink

I'm interested to hear what people use as well though...I only know about good plants for frogs. lol Very Happy

Hibiscus are great-my cham loved to eat the flowers, so they didn't last long! Laughing

I'm sure there's a list on t'internet of safe plants-I'll try and find a link for you.

Thanks Lol...that's a really useful list...Might take it with me to the garden centre Wink

Always a bit worrying buying unknown plants for animals....this makes it much less stressful.

It's good to have the scientific names of the plants to hand. So many plants have different names depending where you come from!

True...even so, the taxonomic names change pretty regularly...damn systematics! Shocked

Does this mean they are safe for all lizards??
I have an iguana.
We have given it geranium and nasturtiums.
Thanks.
