    Putting BP's on House plants, any danger??

    I have a lot of plants scattered around my house. And i have always wanted to get her used to being on the house plants and just chillin out while im sitting there, i think it would just be cool hehe.

    I have herd that much like ceder, that there are some house plants that our poisonous to pythons. Does anyone know which plants these are, or where i could find some sort of list online that would tell me what it is in these plants that BP's can not come in contact with, just so i can see if my plants contain this( ie sap certain chemical in bard ect ect)

    She definitly loves to be out of her cage so i though it wold be cool ti have a lot of places around the house that i could put her on and she can just hang out with us .

    Re: Putting BP's on House plants, any danger??

    I'm not sure of a list, but one that's most likely a no-no is the dieffenbachia. Its common name is Dumb Cane because when injested or just put ON the tongue, the sap has numbing properties. It's dangerous for kids, cats/pets, so probably wouldn't be safe for snakes. I don't RECALL warnings against getting the sap on the skin, but it's been quite a while since I owned one. My ex wasn't into proper care of the house & it got too cold during the winters, killing my houseplants.

    If these are new plants, make sure they are rinsed very well for a few minutes. Many florist use harmful insecticides and also wax to enhance the appearance of the plant.
