I know an aloe vera plant is poisonous to cats/dogs but I was wondering if it also applies to tegus? I would really like to put one in the enclosure but don't want him to get sick WHEN he eats it.

Here is a link to a list of edible plants that can go into an enclosure. I don't see aloe on there though.

I have looked on the harmful plant list as well and do not see it there... my guess is the worst that could happen is it may give him the runs. I imagine it doesn't taste that good either so maybe he won't eat it.

I would avoid using it since it can be harmful to some animals. Tegus tend to eat stuff and ask questions later. Mine tried to eat a digital thermometer the other day. I was ucky it had a wire attached and I caught it when I did.
