    Default Non-toxic plants for enclosure usage

    I've come accross this website that has a massive list of non-toxic plants for use in reptile enclosure's. the main reptile in focus here is the Chamelion, but a non-toxic plant is a non-toxic plant . i've been looking into nice decorations with lots of questions on plants and the 3 i did some research on that people suggested are on this list of non-toxics (thanks people ). well here is the link to the list. i hope i helped some of use out!!!

    i actually printed out the list for my next home depot visit lol

    If anyone spot's a plant that may be non-toxic, but is known to not be good with tegu's, please let me know! i dont want to give out the wrong information!

    Thank you for trying to help. I really appreciate it. But I'm a bit shocked to see the ficus tree to be under the non toxic plants. I don't know about some of them if they are toxic or not.

    deff stay away from the ficus tree! i figured id share the list, im not 100% sure of all the plants on the list but its a deent start. what im going to do is look up nice plants and c if they are on the list, then do background check on that specific plant.

    I've seen ficus trees in enclosures for so long. What is wrong with them? Are the toxic? I used hibiscus for my chams so they could munch a bit, too.

    Laura. The sap is toxic. Some animals chew on the leaves.
