i got a few pumpkins growing in pots outside noticed they are starting to die i was wondering if i can put them in with my baby chameleon. right now i have a pothos and a roebelinii palm. the palm is only there till the pothos starts to grow but figured the extra pumpkin vines would be nice too

I honestly think the vines and fruits even will irritate the chameleons. They seem to be very rough and have a type of "urticating hair" that is even irritating to human skin.

I really wouldn't do it

Could always just do a little terrarium with only the pumpkin plants if you wanted, I have several terrariums with just plants and no animals.
