Dieffenbanchia are toxic!?

[UncleChester]

This article is from Pet Health Care | Dog and Cat Behavior Information by Veterinarians. It's a list of TOXIC plants for amphibians.

Note that this list is plants supposedly toxic to reptiles and amphibians, not just frogs. This surely includes species that will munch on the vegetation, so this opens up an entirely new realm of problems.. Pothos is on that list (Devils Ivy) and it's probably the most commonly used plant for amphibians.

I don't use Dieffenbachia as I undertand it to be significantly higher in calcium oxalates than Pothos. Even if this isn't a hazard to amphibians (and like Martin says, people have used it successfully) it is a significant danger to one of my idiotic cats should they get a hold of it, plus I don't actually care for Dieffenbachias anyways.
