VEILD CHAMELEON KEEPERS..advice?

[*salAMANDA88*]

Hello guys! some of you might remember my 1.0 High pink translucent veild chameleon that I posted photos of earlier this year..
well. I bought him abigger plant today and I just cleaned out his cage..and I think the unbrella plant may be a bit too big??..what do you think??
He's kinda mad that I was moving things around in his home..but he seems to be happy hiding in the leaves...IS THIS PLANT TOO BIG FOR HIS ENCLOSURE?

The photos are not great as I just did this and its night time here. I hate using flash when I take photos! haha!
Thanks in advance!

Manda, he may be mad at being disturbed or put in a new environment but I think the plant looks fine. It is not as big as the tree he would be living in if he were wild.

Thank you Wade!! That is what I thought...but I wanted to be sure. They are so touchy...eee.:shrugs:..but he seems happy now that I am out of teh picture.
I put up another vine too for him to sleep on or climb down to the floor with..he likes sleeping in flat spots so I figure one more wouldn't hurt. He has the LARGE Repti-Breeze..but I'm thinking about picking up another one for him and connecting the two....
he's my baby..hahaha..:crazy02:

Nice

Looks good, just make sure there are no pesticides on the plant or in the dirt I always got my plants from reptlile shows because of that.....

That plant looks fine! The more plants he has, the more secure he will feel.

Is the umbrella plant safe for him to eat should he decide to take a few bites? My veiled chameleons, when I kept them years ago, always liked to take a few bites from their viv foliage, so I made sure I used pothos and hybiscus only as those were the only plants I know are safe. I'm sure there are others, but plants and I do not get along.

Yes, umbrella plants are safe for chameleons.

I put the plant in the shower and rinsed it well..rinsed the roots and gave it fresh Sphagnum peat moss as soil...covered the soil w/rocks to keep crickets from diggin' it up. I hope it will be okay for him..he's kinda a big boy and plows through things..haha..Thanks for looking!

I know that, but I didn't want him to feel crowded..Thank you!
