Good advice - I use the smooth river rocks to cover the soil of any potted plant - very cheap at the local WalMart. My Veileds always seem to gravitate toward the potting soil, more than my other locales.
Also make sure that the live plants you use are 1) not toxic and 2) washed well and repotted before you put into a cham cage. Chams will sometimes also eat plant leaves (mine love Hibiscus leaves - they'll strip a freakin plant!) but often there are pesticides and fertilizers not only in the soil but on the leaves as well. After thoroughly washing the leaves, always repot into a fertilizer, pesticide free potting soil before you introduce into a cham cage.
