    The lead probably comes from the mixed-metal wires used inside the stems, which can also be exposed (& are sharp!) when snakes climb around on these "plants", something else to keep in mind.
    Thanks for the heads up......

    I learned all about the wired plants, fortunately I learned the lesson not the snake, now I make sure to use plants that are meant to float,

    and double check to make sure no wires are in the plants.

    I use ones like this https://www.chewy.com/marineland-bam...iums/dp/133091
