Is anyone using it?

I see it on the flchams safe lists, but have found conflicting info.

Id like to hear if anyone is/has used it with their chameleons.

Does it?

I dug up a large one today, and am trying to see if I can use it in my outdoor cage. It would be perfect if I could. ;/

from what ive read and managed to find on the topic they are not toxic i must have it confused with another plant it turns out its Ficus Benjamina that have the mildly toxic stuff

looks like it may be in the fern family(it's also called "the sensitive fern")...from what I've read, ferns are a big no-no, so I'd do a little more research.

I know it is a "legume". I dont know a whole lot about plants though. Im not sure about it being a fern, it does seem similar. I was under the impression that ferns were common in terrariums and such though?
;/
I was going to "install" it today, and did not get around to it. I will tomorrow though, unless someone says different, or has info on it being toxic.

Send a PM to Motherlodechameleon, he is rather knowledgeable of plants. There is another member but they are hardly on
