Are all pothos safe for veileds

I am pretty sure they all are, but the one you have looks like a golden which is probably the most popular chameleon plant there is.

I believe they all, including golden, have some level of toxicity. The reason people say they are safe is because as far as we know, it doesn't seem to effect veileds/chameleons. They have oxalates which are common in many plants. They apparently bind with calcium, I wonder if this has anything to do with MBD cases.

I have never thought about that before @jamest0o0. What a thought! Could we have been helping MBD? But to be honest, are there really any plants or foods or anything in this world that is completely, 100% safe?

@CamrynTheCham22 you're right, pretty much all of the plants, including the ones we eat have oxalates or something else. Most of the time this causes no problems, especially in moderation, but some people must restrict them due to kidney stones. I have no clue if stripping pothos plants could be linked to MBD cases in veileds, I just saw that while I skimmed through reading and threw the thought out there.
