Veterinary & Aquatic Services Department, Drs. Foster & Smith, Inc.
The following plants are all dangerous to some degree. Some, like oleander and Dieffenbachia (dumb cane) can cause death almost instantly. Others may cause only a mild reaction, but it is still best to remove them from any areas where they would be in contact with your herp.
This is not a complete list, so if you are in any doubt about the safety of plants that you have, please contact your veterinarian or the poison control center. The ASPCA National Animal Poison Control Center hotline numbers are as follows:
1-900-443-0000 ($50.00 per case). The charge is billed directly to the caller's phone.
1-888-4ANI-HELP or 1-888-426-4435 ($50.00 per case). The charge is billed to caller's credit card only.
