I have oleanders that i will have to remove if they are bad for the torts,grape vines,grape fruit tree,orange tree,fig tree,lemon tree.Are any of these bad for the torts?

grape leaves are actually a very good source of nutrition.
im pretty sure oleander is toxic to torts...unsure about the rest.

Oleander is extremely toxic...remove it immediately!! My neighbor's puppy became sick and quickly died after chewing a dead stick off an oleander bush.

well i dont have a tort yet but thanks for the info.My dog leavs the stuff alone.I couldnt get him to go after a branch to save his life,lol.

Oleanders are poison to people and most pets. I believe Fig trees are ok for the leaves and only rarely the fig.
Here are some lists of poison plants including houseplants and some with pics. I am not sure of the Citrus. I heard Citrus is not good for Torts but then I have heard of some torts eating oranges occasionally. I think citrus leaves are not good for torts.
It also depends on what type of tort you are getting. Two plants I would not have in my yard if I had pets, children, or pets or children that visit, would be Oleanders and Poinsettias.

I don't know how long you have had the fig tree or where you live, but those attract the biggest roaches I have seen in my life and I live in Louisiana - almost no one has them here because they attract the worst kind of bugs...

oh heck no,I live in cali.No bugs realy other than some flys go to it.Its like 30 feet tall too.My old best friend was from baton rouge and he had to move back.We were friends for many years,like brothers and it was hard to see him go but I got to go their and stay with him for a month.I loved it their and I got to see the big scary from hell roaches you may speak of,lol.

I want to move to CA when I finish law school, and a friend of mine from San Jose just moved here to go to school. I live in Baton Rouge! Well - part of the time for school.

so would these 2 5 inchers be ok in a sandbox style bricked in pin in my backyard if i put chicken wire or something over it.Im thinking foot and a half tall and the wire over it to keep cats dog and birds out.I asume a shade box and what else?Are they too small for that and I should keep them indoors,they are out in the wild like that right?Also,if a year ago the lawn was sprayed for fleas would I need to use new soil in that spot.It gets soaked all the time so I wouldnt think its still around.

the flea treatment is probably gone by now.
as long as the enclosure is secure and the little guys have some shade to get out of the sun, they should do quite well outside in the sunlight.
