Venus flytrap with pac-man

[GrifTheGreat]

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.

Actually Carlos they are toxic if eaten, but other than ingestion yes they are quite harmless.

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 .

Indeed. I've actually read where it has killed cats when ingested.

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.
