Anyone know if a Venus Fly Trap is safe for a Redfoot enclosure? it is in a buried, stable pot, and well above eating level.
Any help is appreciated, thanks!

I killed 2 Venus fly trap plants(yeah yea yeah, I can hear you all shouting "HEY YOU GUYS". Insinuating I am as stupid as sloff from Goonies). Anyway I went to a reptile show about a month ago, there was a stand there selling all sorts of wierd carnivorous plants. We bought a Sarracenia and a Drosera, as I paid the lady said."make sure you only water with rain water or you will kill them". I couldnt ask any questions because to say she was busy would be an understatement.Hmm good to know..... I have been using filtered tap water. Will try to use rain water!
I watched a David Attenborough doc yesterday on kew gardens. The cape sundew was in that. Amazing plant. Very brutal to its pray. Is this plant safe near Tortoise or must it be kept out of reach?VFTs are not safe.
They must be in direct sun, they need pure water (as in rain water or distilled), and they need a cold dormant period in winter.
I find Cape sundews a better choice for gnat control.
