Hello Everyone I'm building a large enclosure for my cherry head tortoises and I have compiled a list of plants that I have loosely found to be non-toxic to my torts. Some of these plants there was very few information and my intention isn't too feed these plants to my torts but to dress up the enclosure. Its going to be setup more like a vivarium with humidity in the 60-80% range daily and the temps in the 70-80F range daily with a night hide box with a heating mat and a basking area of 95F. I simply want to know if these plants are safe/non-toxic if accidentally ingested or touched. These plants are made to grow on the walls and be out of reach initially. The ground will be covered with leaf litter, moss and I incorporated a waterfall that flows into a creek the depth of a typical tort plastoron so they can drink and soak when they please. The ground will be about 2-3ft deep with a drainage layer of lava rock and a shower drain to drain water. The enclosure is 6ftx7ftx8ft
