    Oh great! I have a croton in a pot in my bombina tank. It does contrast nicely with the green/black on the toads. They don't climb on it or sleep near it. When I re-decorate my tank I will take it out. I get so frustrated selecting plants that aren't toxic to my tortoises and now I have to worry about the darn amphibs. All the prettiest ones are dangerous.

    "I'm wondering if anyone has successfully kept a croton in their vivarium."

    I have. I had one in my setup with green tree frogs for about 6-8 months. No ill effects that I could detect. I removed it only because it was only producing plain green leaves which they tend to do when there's not a lot of light (it was under 2 40 watt flourescents not enough apparently). It's in the living room now where it gets more light and back to producing the multi-color leaves we've all come to expect of it. Also, FWIW, I've touched the leaves plenty of times and have never had any skin irritation. I do not intend to eat it though.
