VFTs are not toxic. However, they have requirements that are not compatible with a PacMan habitat, specifically the need for very bright sun (or light) exposure for at least 4 hours of their 12 hour photoperiod.

Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog!
Re: Venus flytrap with pac-man
to add to what carlos already stated, a pacman will not care about your plant as much as you do and will most likely trample it into submission. also, fly traps also need to have a dormancy period (winter time), which it will not receive in a pacman enclosure.

Re: Venus flytrap with pac-man
Yea plants in a PACMAN cage will never work thay will always find a way to up root the plants and trample them. its best to use fake plants and leave the real ones out side.

Actually Carlos they are toxic if eaten, but other than ingestion yes they are quite harmless.Originally Posted by Mentat
Re: Venus flytrap with pac-man
Several sources of information I cross-referenced stated the plant and it's digestive enzymes were not toxic and would only cause mild gastrointestinal issues if pets (or kids) ate them. Sometimes we find conflictive data on net; even among published scientific articles. Rather be overcautious; so let's consider them toxic

Funny thing is that they make a dietary extract from the Dionaea muscipula. Lol!!

Yes, appears an active component called "Plumbagin" has some effect in tumors and is used as part of alternative medicine treatments: Venus Flytrap.
