Ok, rather than ask what plants are safe for my lizard and snake enclosures, Which plants are unsafe?

I bought the following and don't know if they are ok:

verugated ivy
butterfly palm
and three varieties of dracenas.

I don't have pics just yet, but I found some online. Here are the three drecinas:

Are these ok?

ivy, if a helix, is toxic. arrowhead plant, pothos, sanseveria(sp?), pepperomias, and numerous succulents, I think are all ok. dumbcane(diffenbachia{sp?}, euphorbias, citrus bad

Thanks! I will search on some of Lind's posts. Hey, reverend did you say that ivy is not a good idea?

UPDATE:

Hey! I found Lind's post where she gives this link for non-toxic plants: HERE (http://www.bmts.com/~csz/MingsExoticZoo/Mingsnontoxicplants.html)

I guess the ivy is a no go. Thanks guys!

I have used all the dracenas with good results (they weren't vegetarian lizards tho).
