I have aloe and also what I believe is a small snake plant in my apartment (I'll upload a picture.)
These are on the non-poisonous list so I know my RT hatchling can eat them...but are they good for him? Or should I just stick to other greens and weeds?
eta: Yikes, I just read this about snake plants
"The Snake Plant (Sanseveria sp. /: Agavaceaeis) is an evergreen herbaceous perennial plant that is often used as an air filtering plant because it has a tendency to absorb certain airborne poisonous substances, as well as being natural humidifiers. Snake plants - together with broad sword ferns and rubber plants - are among the top ten air purifiers recommended by experts"

If it is absorbing airborne poisonous substances I definitely will not be feeding that to Nelson!!!
