Dangerousness for animals and humans:
Common ivy is toxic if ingested. Its berries contain saponins that can cause gastric irritation and neurological problems. Contact with the sap can also cause skin reactions in sensitive subjects. It is therefore advisable to keep it away from children and pets that could ingest it. In terrariums it is recommended to use it with purely carnivorous animals.
