Hi aidan.
Why not use real plants? i personally think silk plants look better than plastic.

I use real plants silk and plastic in various combinations plenty of dense foliage for Yemen's is the way to go. Irrespective of being re-used best to concentrate on the chams requirements. None of my foliage goes to waste as it can allways be used in other set ups.

Aiden i wouldnt wait until the B.R.A.S show to get your plants, as you want everything set up so you can moderate temps and humidity for the babies at least a week before they arrive. I use a small ficus or umbrella plant and then have fake plants on the sides of the exo to give privacy. Are you getting your chameleon at the show?

Hun go to B&Q or homebase and buy some plants, they are coppers compared to the health and well being of your chameleons, live plants help with humidity so best in the viv before hand so you can monitor it Very Happy
