I got this pot of succulates today at Sams for $8.00.

Can any one identify these and tell me if they are safe to put in my Vivarium?

I have brosed the plant ID section but found very little good or bad about any succulants.

The tall one with the spines is in the Euphorbia family. They have a milky sap that is toxic, either causing red, burning skin or inflamation in the throat. The others in the dish are ok.

Most succulents are safe. If you pinch one and a milky white sap comes out, its not safe.
