Exotic Angel Plant

[GooglezNvincent]

Found a bunch of these on clearance for really cheap and wanted to make sure they are safe for chameleons before I put them in the cages. They kind of look like the plant in the link (http://www.amazon.com/Engelmann-Direct-8B010418-20-Exotic-Plants/dp/B0029OKQZO) Any information is greatly appreciated!

Looks like some kind of Hoya to me. Ive used them. I think there safe, but im sure theres someone who will disagree with me.

Alright, I just found out their species name is "hedera helix" I think that should help people know for sure if its safe or not.

Any one that knows for sure they are safe, could you let me know so I can get them while they are still there?

The plant you are looking at is the Lipstick Rasta aka /aeschynanthus radians - it is not toxic but if an animal chews on it, it can cause vomiting - kind of like a dog chewing grass. Hope this helps== check Ehow (type in Lipstick Rasta toxic) and you will get more info on this plant

Hedera helix is in the Ivy family - this is not an ivy
