Anyone have any ideas on whether calamus (acorus calamus, sweetflag) is safe for turtles? I will be getting my box turtles soon and am getting their habitat together, a piece at a time. I'd like to include some plants, and am looking online for organic potted plants that are safe for turtles. I'm not having much luck finding organic potted plants, but I have found a couple. So, we'll see. I may buy some dandelion greens from work (I work in grocery) and see if they can be planted!

I'm going to be putting the enclosure together this week and next. It's to be 40 inches long and 22 inches wide, 16 inches tall (ten inches of wood with 6 inches of plexiglass). I'm pretty excited!
