Can Red-eared Sliders eat Rubber Plant?

Why

[confidence: medium] [source: Exotic reptile veterinarian toxicology review, ASPCA toxic plant database cross-referenced with chelonian dietary guides, and peer-reviewed herpetology or veterinary toxicology journal on Ficus species toxicity in reptiles.] Rubber Plant (Ficus elastica) contains irritant latex sap with ficin (a proteolytic enzyme) and phorbol-like compounds that can cause gastrointestinal irritation, oral mucosa damage, and systemic effects if ingested by Red-eared Sliders. The latex is considered toxic to many animals including reptiles and should be avoided entirely.
