Help! I was letting my beardie run around in the sun for some natural UV then he took a chomp out of a fern that looks very much like young Black Locust. I pulled him away but he managed to swallow a bit before I could pull it out. He's acting fine but that's worrying me. What can I do?!

How much did he eat? Can you post a pic of the plant? Keep a really close eye on him and if starts to act off, get him to a vet.

Went to a nursery got it identified. It is some sort of Locust and vet is booked. Calling around to get some help.

If you can't get him to a vet [ who would administer activated charcoal ] you can get some yourself from a drugstore and try to get a bit in to him. It absorbs the toxins so they can safely pass through the digestive tract.

All is well. They referred us to another exotic vet. They got charcoal and a universal antidote into him and gave me some milk thistle to help his liver process successfully. He's home now. I need to pull or fence of that stuff if I'm going to let him run around in the future. Thanks for your help everyone :)
