Pitcher Plants Safe?

[GrifTheGreat]

One of my nepenthes cuttings is growing still in the ecoearth that I have in my pacman frogs enclosure. I just dont want anything from the plant to hurt him

What kind of frog? Pacman??

[Poliwag]

Yeah.

[GrifTheGreat]

Yeah.

Pacman frogs are burrowers as you know and the frog may destroy a very valuable plant if it is placed in with the frog. Nepenthes can handle very low mineral content in their water where other carnivorous plants cannot, but it is best to use water lacking all minerals. You may want to rethink this addition to your frogs tank

All of the above! Lol I saw a nepenthes on eBay a few weeks ago, I don't remember what cultivar it was, but it was rare and an adult plant. It sold for over $6000!!! I wish I had a spare $6k lying around to throw at a plant lol

$6K for a plant... wow !

[Pezsas]

okay so Nepenthes are fine for darts and some bigger frogs like dumpy's but what about something like red eyes or more slinger Tree frogs. How would those handle Nepenthes?

[Tongue Flicker]

As long as they dont fit themselves regularly inside the pitchers or heavy enough (like my tree frog) to ruin delicate new leaves then they would be fine.

Agreed, although if they find their way inside the pitchers themselves, it wouldn't be a catastrophe. Retf's would probably find a comfy spot on some bigger leaves. It also depends on where it is planted. If down low, tree frogs may never even go near it. But if you plant it high and allow it to cascade, they may hang out on the leaves. The big issue is really what I believe Grif mentioned about the soil and water.
