Black and Blue Salvia?

[Tropical Torts]

Hey everyone,
I saw some black and blue salvia at Lowes today and I thought it was really cool looking. Does anyone have this plant in their enclosures? I was looking to plant it in my RF enclosure and I was wondering if it was toxic. Any and all replies are greatly appreciated!

Thanks
John

the general feel for it seems to be that it i s not tocix but might be a hallugenic and cause digestive problems in mammals you can of course decide for your self.

Also keep in mind that plants from Lowes or anywhere for that matter that aren't marked organic are best to let sit for 3-6 months before you put them in an enclosure so they can leech out the systemic pesticides.

If its anything like Salvia Divinorum, stay FAR, FAR away.

I have salvia in one of my pens and other than hiding under it, the tortoises don't give it any attention.
