Pothos Plants - edible or not???

[TOK DADDY]

Can't seem to get a straight answer on this. Can russian tortoises eat the common Pothos Plant that is available for sale in almost any Lowes or Home Depot?

Thanks for your help!

Not certain for a russian. My manouria and elongated multilate it. But theyre diet is more forest forage than a russian forage. Dont think it would pose problems.

This is one of those questionable plants. I know they are safe with red-footed and hingebacks. A Russian I have not heard of being feed this. I would think a little might be okay, but the problem with Russians can be if they can get to the plant, they will simply inhale it one breath it seems like.

I would say no for the steppe tortoise. Forest species can eat it, but I wouldn't offer it to other species.

" NO" ....*Toxic * All parts of the plant.
Main Poison =Calcium oxalate crystals

Thanks! Went with a Spider plant for the little guys enclosure instead.
