I was wondering if the plant called persian shield is toxic or not. If anyone has any info or a way to find out Id appreciate it, its not on MKs list at all or on a few others Ive read.
Thanx.
Joe

This plant is not really simple to keep and maintain... and honestly, I'd play it safe and keep plants related to an iguana's natural habitat, that are both safe and easy to upkeep.

Yes they are dude. Just copy/paste them and check 'em out.

Remember, when making an enclosure "pretty", keep it also simple to maintain, keep it functional, keep it proper, and most importantly, keep it clean!

Cheers,
