i purchased some plastic plants for my bps cage and i notice that some pof them give off a plastic smell. its strong enough that if i stick my head into the cage and take a wiff, its very noticable. I took them out too soak them an dtry and get the smell to go away. that didnt work, go figure . anyway, i am assuming that if the smell is strong to me, it must be too my BP and may be toxic to him. if it is toxic, than why are they an actuall reptile plant that u can place in your cage.
