? Safe plant for my retf's ?

[Heatheranne]

I just wanted to check on this plant to be sure...is it safe for my retf's? I'm hoping to put them into their new viv this week. I added this one a short while ago but there was no name on it to check.

Thanks!

Heather, what is the plant?

[Heatheranne]

Here it is. Sorry, my crazy phone wouldn't let me load it. It's the one in the center that has yellow/white leaves with green centers. And some red on the stalks.

Hmm, the plant reminds me of of a Prayer plant....though it looks different. If the plant gives you a rash upon hadling it, then the plant would not be safe for your frog.

Here are several links to online plant identification guides to help you determine what species of plant it is. It asks you basic information about the plant, i.e. the type of plant (annual, flowering, bamboo, etc..) or if it has an odor.

Heather, it looks quite similar to a zebra plant which are safe. Joshs and Black Jungle have some good pictures and safe plant lists to use as a comparison.

Heather ,
I think this is the plant you are wonder about?
I's a peperomia.
It is safe, in my opinion. As mentioned I have had this plant in my enclosure for a very long time.

Looks like the variegated Pepperomia obtusifolia. Should be no problem, they're safe from everything I've ever read and also my American green treefrogs favorite perch. It's also easy to care for, just don't let the roots sit in constantly damp soil and it should do well.

Yep, it's definitely that . Thanks! All of the pictures I looked up match. It's the only plant in the viv in a pot, so that should be easy to keep not as moist. Mostly bc it's over my back access hole.

I think my viv is ready : ).
