Very true.

well toxic is a relative term, pothos and ficus are also mildly toxic but keepers still use it in their cham enclosures

I wouldn't even consider it for an animal that eats leaves at all. It causes swelling in the throats and vocal cords of mammals making them unable to meow, bark etc. (hence the name dumb cane) I don't know what would happen in a reptile.

@Beman and @Thehippie
In all honesty all I do is ask and work hard.
I work for a moving company so most people cant take their plants on the road. More plants for me!!

You have no idea how much I would love that. I want my room to feel like a greenhouse.
