Plant ID's

[ballin]

Can anyone id these palnts and tell me if they are safe to use with reptiles, not just chameleons.
Also, Does anyone know if the Vinca (Sp?) vine is safe?

The first one is Setcreasea pallida "purple queen" ,I don't know about its toxicity, but it is a perennial used in landscaping and will require a lot of light. The second is "wandering jew" and is fine to use with reptiles.

Thanks, hopefullt someone will know if the Purple Queen is safe.
What about the Vinca Vine, do you know if its alright?

This website http://www.sniksnak.com/plants-toxic.html lists it as toxic, however it also lists ficus sap as toxic as well.
I would rather be safe than sorry and just not use it.

I've not done a whole lot of research, but was also under the impression that wondering jew was toxic..no??

 

[Lizardlover]

from what I know wondering jew is toxic.

When I first got a veiled someone told me that wandering jew was toxic to chameleons.

It's listed as safe here: http://flchams.com/safe_plant_list.asp

I personally have used wandering jew in my vivs for years with no ill effect.

Yeah I'm not using it for chameleons. its gonna be used for a plant in a glass cage for day geckos most likely. Who will not likely eat it.

Yeah, but then again if it puts ficus as toxic as well as pothos and basically every other plant out there And thats for cats and dogs. I don't really trust that website... for reptiles that is.
