Citrus new setup.

This is very interesting to me. Pothos is on the list of safe plants for reptiles yet not on the "edible" list. I have kept pothos in various reptile enclosures over the years with no ill effects. And tortoises have picked at them. It does say causes irritation if eaten in large quantities. I'm guessing since frogs are more sensitive it is probably highly toxic for them.

Thanks for the heads up!

I wouldn't use black for a covering, I would use a aquarium type background.
When my packman was small he always tried to go to the side that had the heat pad on the
enclosure that was black even if it was off. and the other sides had aquarium background.

As far as the plant I have never had live plant with him since he always burrowed and could
dig up the plant.
I don't think the frog is in any danger from the plant but the plant could be the victim here.

they are not toxic and are safe to use, but big frogs=big amount of waste, add to this their digging ability and size of a frog in comparison to a plant as well as the fact that you need to take it all out to change the substrate once a month, low light environment, all that makes any live plant questionable idea in a big fat frog tank

Thanks guys for the help. I will use a jungle kind of background and when it starts to die I will go back to a fake plant. Lija why do you think they are not toxic?

I just went to look because I just got back from school and he has buried himself.

They are toxic if eaten, but you still don't eant any of the fluids from the plant getting on the frog's sensitive skin. Any and all dead or molted leaves must be removed.
