All,
I came across an interesting account of oak poisoning in Maders' Reptile and Amphibian Medicine and Surgery. It reptorted that there were at least two accounts of tortoises housed outdoors beneath oak trees dying from ingesting the leaves. There was also a note about an Iguana with similiar problems, but who did not expire. Though the chance that any horned lizard would ingest even a part of a leaf is remote, the risk is there. Also, crickets might eat them and then be consumed by the lizard(s)... Just a note of caution. I hope it helps.
