CALZOO'S REFERENCE SHEET > Toxic Vegetation


TOXIC VEGETATION

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 neighborhood garden center. 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 center 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 center or visit your local library. All plant parts are toxic unless otherwise noted.
