what are you looking for in return

Not sure what you mean by "clippings" of these. Sans. (short for Sansevieria, this is the correct spelling), are usually are propagated by taking whole single leaves (or divisions, pups, young plantlets that tend to rise from the base of the parent plant). I agree w/ what you've heard/read abt keeping them dry after potting up. I disagree w/ Watergal abt keeping the soil moist; a leaf being used to create a new plant has no roots a all & the leaf itself will have enough water reserves to get it started w/out watering. Also keeping the soil moist tends to rot the leaf before it can take root. This takes a long time, can take up to a year! There's lots of info. on how to do this; try searching at the Cactus & Succulent Forum & also pls. check the Sansevieria Forum, also at GW. Try for somehting like "starting Sans. from leaves" or "starting Snake Plants from leaves".

Not all of the yellow- margined- with- horizontal- striped- green- flat- leaves are the exact same plant. The tall, narrow leaved laurentii that is so common is one of them. Futura simplex is very similar-but with shorter, wider thick leaves. Hahnii marginated is the same colors as the others but is a dwarf birdsnest type with leaves of about 5" tall in an open rosette form. We would have to see a picture to tell which plant is yours.

Plants are NOT toxic. In fact sanseveria is used medicinally in some places. The fact that slugs and snails eat the leaves to no end is surely a clue that these plants are not toxic. There are some plants with very sharp tips and spine tips that pose more danger than consumption of leaves or roots. BTW elephants do eat this as I have seen them relish these when ever they can sneak a few leaves with their trunks. I bet the spine tipped adaption is a way to deter these relished plants from being eaten. I have seen wild pigs eat them to the root and they don't appear to be sick from eating massive amounts of this.This was the common S. laurentii variegated forms.
