Why
[confidence: high] [source: The Tortoise Table plant database, ASPCA toxic plant list cross-referenced with reptile veterinary toxicology resources, and exotic reptile vet review] Neon Pothos (Epipremnum aureum) contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals that cause oral irritation, swelling, and gastrointestinal distress in Sulcata tortoises. It is listed as toxic to reptiles due to this well-documented oxalate crystal mechanism, which can also interfere with calcium absorption in herbivorous reptiles.
