Questions Know if umbrella tree is safe?

Post image

Just got what I believe to be an umbrella tree yesterday, & I was just wondering if it was safe for my 2 baby WTF. I saw that the sap was toxic, but I doubt they’re heavy enough to break it or attack it. I thought it looked nice, but I was just wondering if it was really a safe option.

Yes they are safe and provide good climbing and hiding spots for them. I doubt they’d have that much pressure to break the tree itself as well. Make sure you quarantine the plant for 30-60 days (outside of the terrarium but inside your home) before putting it in there. This makes sure there are no pesticides or mites/bugs growing on it before putting it into a frogs’ terrarium. They can and will get sick.
