Well it doesn't say that, but I doubt that they wouldn't say if it was poisonous to certain snakes. They would have to really, because the publisher might get sued if someone followed advice in a book and it turned out to be false information. |

Cast iron plants (aspidistra)
Chinese evergreens (Aglaonema)
Ornamental figs
philodendrons
prayer plants (maranta)
Snake plants (sansevieria)
succulents
Apparently snake plants, prayer plants and bromeliads like high humidity and rainforest set ups.
it says they are good in vivariums, i take it that also means they pose no problems towards crb's specifically? |

We've just put a tiny off-shoot from our big plant in there and it's doing fine. Once it gets too big, we'll just uproot it and plant another cutting in there 
We've got inch plants and peace lilies in with our amphibians and they do good in humidity. You'll have to do a bit of research on peace lilies though and make sure they are safe for Rainbows, because I know some toxin exists in the leaves. |

There are a few plants that should be avoided, but we've got a monster swiss cheese plant in with our BRB and that's doing well. |
