I have had conflicting advice re a Swiss Cheese (monstera deliciosa) plant.
I
would like to plant my large specimen in with my North American Box Turtles,
as I
believe they will ignore it. BUT someone has told me it is toxic. I want to
add
shade and increase humidity in the outdoor shed.

Any thoughts , anyone?

Dear Zoey,
As an ardent Herpetologist AND an 'Aroidophyle', I say go ahead!!  Aroids
are commonly used in reptile displays, and many genera are incorporated,
including Monstera (swiss cheese plant).    I`d just not get any torn pieces
of leaves in the water bowl (especially if Amphibians are being kept), and
you will end up with a healthy  and BEAUTIFUL reptile exibit!
Cheers,
Julius
