I don't think so, I had some in my cage for wd before, they would stump everything they find so they never lasted long.

Dieffenbachia are toxic but only if ingested. They are also known as Dumb Cane.

Ok so as long as it doesn't munch on it, it should be fine??

I have used dieffebacchia in my frog tanks....and it has done well...almost too well. It grows quickly in moist soil, high humidity...and even low light. Actually, mine grew to the height of the vivarium, couldnt grow up anymore....and then it began to grow downwards and vine around the viv... It even sprung out aerial roots, likely because of the humidity. And as it vined and sprialled around the viv, the extra roots anchored themselves around the tank in the soil...so I actually got a few "new" plants out of it.. Interestingly enough..some forms of Dendrobates pumilio will lay their eggs in the little dips from the petiole to the stem (which hold water that wont dry out in the rainforest)..and they actually raise their tads in this tiny body of water. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why I fnd this plant so interesting. This is quite a variable plant in terms of colouration as well..
Anyway, I am finished rambling
Enjoy your new plants

I feed crickets in a bowl because they can easyily climb out of the cage and then onto my floor, good for cats bad for my sister and roommate. So I just feed the crickets before I feed to my lizards. As for them getting out of the bowl it's too high for them to jump out, I also have it stuck to the bottem of the cage.
