Any word on Musa ensete (Banana Plant) ? Been given a grow your own for Christmas and thought it would liven up a tropical terrarium

Just a bump to see if anyone knows about the above question? Thanks

[ginnerone]

Honestly, i'm not sure, can't seem to find anything about them, the only thing i could suggest is to pop over to the habitat section and there is a thread on known Toxic plants, have a look through to see if its there.

Don't know if this is any help - Leaflet No. 7 - 1983 - Banana

this is not definitive but it states that in some parts of the world the corm (centre of the 'trunk') is eaten as a starchy food stuff. The leaves are also used to wrap food in in some places so they can't contain anything too devastating to health. Many zoos I have visited with free flying birds in their tropical house have had large specimen banana trees including tropical world in leeds where they have free range iguana. Not sure how applicable this is to your viv but it might give you some idea.

Ginnerone- nice post. This is very useful. Also - take a look at this.

This is a valuable resource from BIAZA (british and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquaria) with a page on edible and another page on toxic plants for tortoises (and probably most herbivorous reptiles). Not sure how much overlap there is with the original post but definitely some good advice in terms of 'food for free'.
