    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I have seen pix of cham enclosures that have real live ficus trees in them. Do any of y'all have one in your cham enclosure? Does the tree do OK or do you have to replace them every so often?

I have never had a ficus tree in my veileds enclosure. I have had one in my panthers enclosure and the sap caused him to get an eye infection.
 
Lucille, I worked with chams for many years before my love for boas invaded my life.

I used ficus, hibiscus, and umbrella plants. They offer a nice hiding place for your lizard that can reduce stress, the hibiscus will not harm your pet if ingests some of the leaves. (veiled's will occasionally eat some leaves)

The size of your enclosure will also help you choose the right plant for your pet.

Hope this helps.....and read everything you can on them, books, magazine articles, and other websites of cham keepers.
 
Howdy,

I too, use ficus, hibiscus, and umbrella plants with all of my chameleons. Wouldn't do it any other way. Buy them, wash them with a mild soap, clean-out the origninal potting soil and replace with organic.

Not the most recent photo but you get the idea...
