ate philodendron

[SpikeTheLizard]

my beardie ate a tiny tiny ( 1/4 of a dime) piece of philodendron while she was out exploring. i read that the plant is toxic but in this miniscule amount, should i be concerned?

With that tiny amount, it shouldn't pose a problem. Here's a thread from this site in 2013 where the dragon bit a penny sized piece.

It would be good to have activated charcoal on hand in the future if she got in to something worse or a larger amount but she should be fine.

I agree, it hopefully isn't enough to cause a problem, but watch her closely and if she starts acting weird, like she's disoriented at all or she vomits,or she starts drinking a ton of water, those are all signs of poisoning and she needs a vet ASAP.

As already mentioned every beardie owner (every pet owner really) should keep Activated Charcoal on hand at all times to administer when this happens. It's cheap, can be purchased at any drugstore or Walmart, and can save lives.
