Sarracenia in a Chameleon Terrarium? Better Alternatives

Question: Is Sarracenia purpurea safe for a chameleon terrarium? Will it hurt the lizard?

Answer: Sarracenia cannot harm a lizard—only large Nepenthes catch vertebrates. But Sarracenia should not be in a terrarium—they're temperate, not tropical. They'll die. For terrariums, use tropical species: small Nepenthes (ampullaria, gracilis, ventricosa), tropical sundews (D. adelae), Mexican butterworts (P. moranensis).

Good Growing!
