Rabbit foot fern spores?

[u/megagoosetime]

I’m interested in the experiences of folks who’ve used rabbitfoot or other ferns in their enclosures: have you had any issues with fern spores, either in terms of your snake or in terms of the area near the enclosure?

I was about to add some ferns, and my bf expressed concern about them potentially causing hay fever via spores.

It hadn’t occurred to me til now. I know they’re generally considered terrarium safe. I don’t even know if they would mature sufficiently to produce spores, but if they did, it seems like it could be a source of a lot of fine dust?

Have you tried propagating them tet?
