Ok so I've read extensively on crotons and it seems all have the croton oil, but only some have it on the outer surface of the leafs and as long as its not ingested it should be ok. I would be putting it into a frog tank. As for the condition of the plant it self, I was at home depot and they had a peace lily and a photos plus this plant all stuck together in the pot that is pictured, all the roots were root bound together so that might explain the color thing. Anyway thanks for the info guys/girls
