    Pothos Plant in 40g breeder

    So I know this has been been something going back and fourth for sometime and I'm not sure if there has been an actual answer adding Pothos Plants into a ball python tank?

    Fine as long as there's no pesticides. None of any kind. Buy it from walmart.
    Not sure why you would want to though, your snake is gonna tip it over and make a mess..

    It's a safe plant. I'm currently propagating my own pothos for my GTP, since you really need to make sure there are no pesticides or anything like that. It doesn't grow as fast as people make it sound though.

    The only other thing is an adult BP can smash through it pretty quickly LOL. So you'll probably need to make sure you have a lot of pothos growing strong.

    Yeah I washed it off a few times and just bought organic soil and split the plant apart and put it in coconut liners and burried inside the tank with my Cypress mulch on top just to see how it does.

    Make sure you check the tag it came with for neonicotinoids because those can't be washed off. Made that mistake with my chameleon before.

    Not saying it has it but just to look out for something like that
