What type of plant is this?
Can anyone tell me what type of plant this is and if it would be safe to put in an enclosure. It's never been sprayed with pesticides or anything like that for future reference.

I'm not entirely sure yet. I was thinking my ATB.

Re: What type of plant is this?
And I'm not sure if I'm even going to put it with anything. Just trying to figure out what it is and if its safe.

Re: What type of plant is this?
The image is a little small to tell, but I honestly can't advise anyone to bring a plant from outdoors into their home. It's going to bring in pests that will infect your other plants. I doubt any of them would harm the reptile, but 9 out of 10 times it will impact your other plants, and often bring annoying little flies that came with the soil into your home.
Even if sprayed with insecticide to save the other plants before bringing it indoors, the chances of ever getting the spray totally off the plant to the point that it'd be safe to put in a reptile enclosure are slim.
You'd be a *lot* safer getting an indoor plant from a trusted source. I'm just saying'

I can tell you what type of plant it is if you tell me what time of year you took that pic, how long you've had it, and what state you're in

Re: What type of plant is this?
It (looks) like a type of ficus, but I can't really tell for sure. If you have a local nursery, they could probably tell you for sure.

Re: What type of plant is this?
Ah, Zara beat me to it. Yup, it's a type of ficus, but it's very young so it's hard to tell what type it might be. Also, a close up photo of the leaf would help tremendously. The pic is too small

Re: What type of plant is this?
Don't know what it is but if it's an outdoor plant it may not take kindly to being taken inside.

Re: What type of plant is this?
Once you know for sure what it is, advice will be easier to give. Typically, shrubs and trees do not do well in enclosures.
