Reply:Should be fine, it isn't a toxic plant. Other plants i've used with my anole and chinese water dragon are snake plant, pothos and philodendron. Below is a great source for reptile safe plants. Don't believe everything you read on cat websites or humane society sites. They kind of over do it on their lists.
Reply:I use spider plants in most of my tanks and habitats because the plants thive in the humidty. I have lizards, snakes, turtles, spiders and every one of my cages and tanks has spider plants in them. I even use spider plants in my aquatic turtle tanks even though my turtles like to eat them but they have been doing it for almost 7 years now with no ill side affects. So go ahead and use them. If you have the space to plant the plant in the cage it is better that way. I have noticed my plants last longer and grow back quicker if they are actually planted in the enclosure.
Reply:Spider plants are fine, and I have been using various live plants in all manner of tanks over the past ten years. Leopard geckos won't eat the leaves, but be warned! Your crickets and locust prey animals will! I have in the past had a beautifully planted vivarium decimated in hours by a carelessly added handful of locusts!
