I've always heard that they are extremely toxic.
We had one in my house growing up. I remember once that my baby brother bit a leaf, and had to go to the emergency room. He was okay, but they treated it pretty seriously.
For sure don't let anything munch on them.

It's a toxic plant. Any way you look at it, it is not a good idea to keep a toxic plant in a viv. I would take it out and replace it with something more suitable.
Will you have long-term problems? I don't know. But is it worth the risk? You might never see any signs that something is wrong, just wake up to a dead reptile one day.
Poisoning, I am told, is a very painful way to die.

Silk, plastic and other material plants are much safer! And you can wash them alot easier too! 
Oh, and another tip...they're really cheap at the dollar discount stores or the other liquidator stores.  Even trees!

I believe ficus trees are good. They are cheap and VERY sturdy
