If anyone believes there are any missing or need moving, then message a mod and we'll shift it. [:D] A vast amount of these were copied, With Permission, from: [size=5][b]CAL ZOO’S REFERENCE SHEET™ TOXIC VEGETATION[/b][/size=5] When setting up a reptile or amphibian enclosure, not only do you need to know what plants will survive in a given set-up, but will your animals survive if they happen to eat them? You should also be aware some fruits, vegetables or their parts may also be toxic. To determine which plants will fare well in your enclosure, consult your neighbourhood garden centre. Once you have a list of plants you know will survive, check them against this list. These are the most common toxic plants known. There may be other toxic plants available at your local garden centre which are not listed here. If you are in doubt as to whether a certain plant is toxic or not, please consult your local garden centre or visit your local library. All plant parts are toxic unless otherwise noted.
