Hey everyone, i keep getting conflicting information about dracaena. I read it was non-toxic, so i got one. Then i read it was, so what's the deal? Is this plant safe for my cham or not? Thanks

This site says safe: http://home.att.net/~chameleons/safeplants.html

as does Melissa Kaplan's:

From the odd post though, some people say she's a kook :P

Frome all the reasearch i have done it is perfectly safe... I have one in my female panthers cage and she loves it its a good big leafed plant and hardy very hard to kill...

That plant alone pretty much solved my humidity issues. I would hate to lose it. Not quite sure how, but it must be trapping a whole lot of water when i spray. It's good news that i can keep it in the cage.Had i not been able to i would have turned it into a house plant, they are pretty cool. It looks like a mini-palm tree. Anyways, Thanks for confirming.

p.s: Incase you were wondering, one of the sites that said it was toxic was talking specifically about cats. Just search Draceana Toxicity on google and you'll find it on the first page there.

I have one in my veiled chams cage and i haven't noticed a problem at all. Of course mines just a little one right now, so it's not getting much use.
