I have read lots of list of potentially "safe" and "dangerous" plants. Some seem to contradict each other. Can someone tell me if the following plants are poisonous or safe??

English Ivy (I thought ivy was bad, but I found this recommended for reptiles)
Umbrella Plant or Schefflera in general
Parlour palms
Rhapidaphora Tetrasperma: sorry, I don't know the common name
Coleus

Do water dragons and/or basalisks tend to eat the plants in thier enclosures often?

Thanks!

all i know is it is said that if you feed a stick bug ivy it becomes toxic to reptiles, so i'd say ivy is a bit iffy. sorry i don't know more.

pothos is ok, ficus is ok, dracena is ok, I use philos as well with no problems.
hedera helix I don't think is ok but since you have pothos you don't need the ivy.
