Is this supposed to be a lame attempt at being humorous?
I really can't believe that there would be anybody out there that naive.

There are no carnivorous plants that would be harmful to pets.

Do a google search on carnivorous plants and see the many websites on the
subject.

If the dude is growing the plants in an aquarium, how in the heck would the
animals be able to get to them to eat them in the first place?

If only there actually were plants that could eat pets (and people), the
world would most certainly be a better place!!!

Got to get me an Audrey2 too!!!

Have you never heard of pets knocking things over and sampling the flavors
thereof? Granted a Yorkie probably couldn't do it but a German Shepperd or
even a good sized mixed breed woud have no problem. Especially were they
playing with the resident cat. Even a cat could knock over a large heavy
object if the cat were one of the heavier ones. Not to mention a cat could
easily climb into the terrarium (yes even with a lid on it) and there by
sample a few plants.

Yes that is what I meant. Sorry for the confusion. I have lotsa
plants (over 100 in my 1 bedroom condo) they make great "pets" and a
very soothing atmosphere.
I wanted to get something a little more excotic like a venus fly trap.
However it must be non-toxic to the orther domestic pets. The cat
nor Dog has ever eaten any of my plants but I do want to make certain
that it could not hurt them if eaten. Of course I did not mean that
the plants could eat the animals I could see how that was taken.
Pretty funny image if you think about it.
Thank you all.

George, and Fellow Students, all of my animals have caused some
attrition to some of my plants. Cats enjoy shredding things. dogs like
to either go in search of imaginary rabbits, trampling everything in
their path...or else, they really DO enjoy eating some plants.
Currently i grow no plants on the official toxic ornamental plant
list, but there is such a list, and it has Lily Of The Valley on it,
and other seemingly harmless and common plants. Since there are
terrarium subjects, right? you could make some sort of cover which
would be animal proof. i have terrariums without plants, with lizards
living in them, and so far, (15 years or so) no dog or cat has gotten
in there. YOU CAN DO IT!

My friend had a swimming pool once with a "Creepy Crawley" vacuum-cleaner
installed. It would venture forth from the pool at nights and consume the
odd wayward cat and dog, and make a mess of the Peony patch.
Indeed, if the windows of the house were left open on hot humid summer
nights it would apply itself to the feverish bodies of the guests in the
most untoward fashion, to the delight of everyone.

How sad that you have no faith in a person's ability to train their pets to
behave.

Dogs may be the morons of the pet world but they can be trained to behave
themselves.

Cats have enough sense not to go poking around into a smelly wet terrarium
full of plants.

Kids are far more likely to be the ones to mess with the terrarium.

Yes, kindred spirit.
But we have our innocent memories for consolation...!!!

Ha ha ha ha ha, that is probably one of the funniest things I have ever
heard. I'm sorry, have you ever been owned by a cat?

Curiosity killed the cat - and in my Max's case, didn't kill him, but got
his furry tail singed by a candle on the bathroom counter - he just had to
look out the window didn't he ;-)

As a responsible pet owner, or owned by a pet which is more likely, I've never
left an unattended candle anywhere in the house unless I was in the same room.
