...vomiting, etc.), or central nervous system signs (e.g., tremors, seizures). PHILODENDRON: "This plant contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals similar to other plants in the Araceae amily. Chewing or biting into this plant will release these crystals causing tissue penetration and...

Listed toxins... Calcium Oxalate Crystals, Cucurbitacin B This doesn't sound good... "These plants contain special cells called idioblasts. Found in a number of plant species both poisonous and non-poisonous, idioblasts differ from neighboring cells in that they contain non-living substances...

Ya, I am with you, I think toxic is wrong word, Pothos has similar things and everyone uses it. I think unpleasant if eaten would be a better way to say it. They are not going to die, they might not eat it again haha.

I agree, the topic is quite controversial. I have seen people say that pathos, satin pathos, ivy and other commonly used plants are toxic and suggest people don't use them for chams. I've used all three, and others for that matter, and have not had any issues that I'm aware of. None of the chams...

It's fine, I'm just saying there is no black and white. Safe plant lists aren't and end all and we may find out plants are interfering with calcium absorption some day. I copy and pasted this for you: "Oxalic acid and oxalates both occur naturally in many plants, most of which can be eaten...

...I found on the scefflera aboricola wikipedia page, Poisoning Schefflera poisoning is due to the species containing "sharp" calcium oxalate crystals that are insoluble and damage the cells and tissues of the animals ingesting them. Depending on the amount that a pet consumes the resulting...

...are plant eaters. Pothos is generally used in enclosures due to it's versatility, but it is often listed as toxic. Yes it contains oxalate crystals, but is far from toxic. Mildly irritant would be a better description in my opinion. I would be most concerned with plants that will have sap...

Thanks a lot, I’ve been waiting it out just to make sure I get the right stuff. And do it the right way.

I was just trying to end that conversation with a bit of humor. Again, I know i’m out topic and I was wrong to suggest pothos. I am sorry. I understand. English is not my first language. I do what I can. I am not being helpful I get it. I will indeed be very careful with the « facts » in the...

So does pothos and many other plants. Toxic=/= poisonous. Oxalate crystals are more of an irritant, can cause gastric issues, and in humans kidney stones. People use plants like these with veileds that eat them and notice no bad effects. It would make sense since most of the plants they'd be on...

...lists", and seem to be extremely popular. But according to Wikipedia, and several other sources, Schefflera arboricola has calcium oxalate crystals in the leaves, stems, and sap, which are poisonous. The Wikipedia article says that confusion arises because the common name for Shefflea...

You'll find that oxalate crystals are in many plants. Pothos is another favorite that has these. It's a common defense mechanism for plants, even the veggies we eat can cause kidney stones for certain people. Chameleons are surrounded by highly toxic plants In the wild, we probably shouldn't try...

...with my Panthers though which don't really eat leaves, though occasionally they chew. Is there any evidence of them being toxic to chameleons? It looks like they are toxic for the same reason as pothos(oxalate crystals), yet veileds seem to be able to strip pothos plants clean without problems.

I realize this thread is a couple years old and the OP hasn't been active in a while, but I find myself looking into this issue, and this was the first thread that came up in an archive search. There are several other plants known as "Umbrella plant". According to: I haven't researched all...

It should do fine. Just as an FYI, many lists state the philodendrons are toxic, but they just have oxalate crystals that cause nausea and mouth irritation, same as pothos and many other plants. If the chamelons were eating large amounts of it, I may be concerned, but @jpowell86 and myself, and...

...can be very toxic towards some animals while being harmless to others. We see veiled on here chew up pothos all day without issue even though they apparently have oxalate crystals. I agree crotons should be fine, but their post had nothing wrong with it. Stop being an uptight ass for no reason

@jpowell86 is correct. There are numerous cultivars, hybrids, and species, so it may not be easy to find an exact match in online photos. Your plant is also pale and suffering from some typical cultural problems, so it isn't showing its truest colors. It is not recommended is chameleon...

...plant list will list various plants as toxic, however none that I have mentioned carry and risk greater than pothos, which contain oxalate crystals, that many of veileds have consumed and shown no cause for concern. On that note, you might try caldiums, if your humidity is high enough. In...

When I am told to find someone that has more botanical experience than myself I find that to be insulting. How does this person have any idea of how much experience I have with plants or chameleons? I was not invited as guest lecturer to MO & Denver Botanic Gardens because I have no knowledge of...
