Live Plant Question

[DragonLady]

My local Hy-Vee has their huge tropical plants on sale for $12.00. I picked up two, and can't find a lot of info on them as far as being safe for Chams. Neither is listed in "cham safe" lists I've looked up.

The first one is labeled a Dumb Cane and is the first picture.

The second is a Madagascar Dragon Tree - second picture.

I would truly appreciate any input before putting them in my cages. Thanks so much!

The Madagascar Dragon Tree is aka Dracaena marginata. Dracaena of all species is listed as safe on the FL Chams safe plant list. http://www.flchams.com/safe_plant_list.asp

The Dumb Cane is toxic. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dieffenbachia

Thanks so much! One of the attorneys I work for has a birthday coming up, so the Dumb Cane will be going to her!!
