Foliage plant safe to use?

[fuzzhc]

I picked up a plant from b&q today for my chams new enclosure. The only name on it is foliage plant but I can't find its scientific name so I don't know if it is safe to use. Here is a picture of it if that helps if anyone can tell me?



Ps it's the taller one lol

The smaller one is a pothos and is fine.
The taller one I know as a rubber plant. Maybe google that and it will give you the scientific name and you can check it on the forum.

It's a ficus elastica. There's a list somewhere here, either on a thread, safe plants list or maybe something in the care resources that may help.

Yes, "rubber plants" are fine. One of my favorites.

rubber plant is not fine the sap is toxic

Thanks for your reply. I searched alot on the plant and majority say it's toxic. I put the plant in her new reptiles breeze cage and one of the branches snapped, bleeding out alot of milky sap which immediately turned sticky so I will only use this as a free range. Wouldn't want any getting into her eyes or drinking it.
