Question Live plants that are known to be safe for snakes?🤔

Hi all.

I am considering putting some live plants in with my western hognose, mostly succulents (such as Hen & chicks, Burro’s Tail, Echeveria and Haworthia), as well as looking for plants for a live vivarium for the garters I plan on keeping.

But I was wondering about other flowering or trailing plants, like Heather, Lavander, Orchid, Dogwood, and Hibiscus? I can't seem to find an actual answer when researching these plants

I'm not too worried about them eating the plants, cause they are carnivorous and not likely to eat said plants, though broken stems, saps, jucies and dug up roots could be a potential problem (looking at you Theda)

but I was wondering if anyone has a definitive list of non-toxic/poisonous plants that are safe for snakes, and maybe a list of what to avoid?

thanks all 😄
