Pothos anyone??

[safari_lass1]

I was wondering which species can tolerate the toxicity of Pothos. I feed them to the skinks I have quite readily, but was always warned not to use them like I do mulberry leaves with tortoises.

Recently I read all manouria can eat them without any ill side effects. Any other species?

I have to use my phone to type, so my apologies for the misspellings, forgotten/added/repeated words and wrong punctuation.

Since pothos is native to South America, I would assume the South American tortoises can tolerate it.

I use them in with my redfoots and cherryheads, along with the hingebacks. None of my animals have eaten them however. I did have a hatchling cherry take a taste, but that was it.

My Rosie ate half a leaf of golden pothos and had no ill effects. She did have greens available but felt like variety I guess. In my future enclosure I think I'll put some up on a ledge out of eating's way, but to help keep up humidity and the tropical feel.

Elongated, forsten, travancore, and all my manouria devour it. Its a main staple I feed give them access to. My refs dont really touch it but the yellow foots will sometimes.

I use it in my box turtle cages , but the most they have ever eaten is one bite with no ill effects !

Just snip a vine off and put in the dirt and it will start to root and grow a new plant. Well if its not eaten first, ha.

I am in the process of creating a worm farm, so I have plenty of organic soil. Fantastic!!

Has anyone used sweet potato vine? That stuff grows even faster than Pothos.

could you please post a photo of the pothos plant you are referring to. I have elongate and yellow foot... so if I have a photo I can try to find it.

 

[tortadise]

It can be toxic, mainly the wilted leaves. Aluminum toxicity, same as the morning glory.
