My lizard ate a stargazer lily flower. Is it toxic to reptiles?

Question

My Uromastyx lizard ate a stargazer lily flower. It happened about three hours ago and he isn't showing any unusual symptoms or behavior. Are these lilies toxic/fatal for reptiles?

Angel Alvarado, LVT · Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, most lilies are toxic to reptiles as well as small animals. Since the ingestion occurred a while ago, you'll need to monitor for symptoms such as lethargy, loss of appetite, decreased/increased thirst and a change in the color/amount of urates produced. Consider an exam with your veterinarian or an experienced herp vet. Baseline blood work should be submitted, then repeated in a few days or sooner if any of the above symptoms develop. Any treatment will be largely symptomatic.
