Spathiphyllum plant

[ChamazingZina]

I was wondering if the Spathiphyllum plant is okay to use in my veiled's enclosure. I've had one in there since I've had my cham (about a month). It hasn't seemed to cause any problems or health issues, but I just want to make sure.

I woundnt use a spath. Not for a veiled at least. Its one they really shouldnt eat. Plus theres no branches to support the animal.

Alright. She's still very small, and she uses it all the time for climbing. But I will invest in a new one ASAP.

yup, another nope

I concur that Spaths should not be used with a plant-eater like a veiled. All the plants in the Aroid family have oxalic acid crystals in their tissues that cause an immediate burning sensation when eaten. Spaths and pothos, don't have much of this, but spaths do have a few other worrisome properties that would be a concern if your guy were to consume leaves over a long time. Better safe than sorry, etc.

I picked up a Golden Pothos today. I hope that is the right kind, or okay Pothos to use.

Pothos is perfect.
