    This can happen for many reasons. Arrowhead ivy does have a tendency to have outer leaves die off some. If it is one or two, you don't need to worry much about it.

    If it is more than a few leaves, I would look to how it is being watered. It should be watered when the soil is dry to the touch on top and it should have good drainage so that it is not sitting in water.

    While Syngonium podophyllum is listed as toxic to humans, that doesn't mean it is toxic to turtles. You would have to ask a turtle expert to find out for sure.

    A friend of mine cannot keep a syngonium plant indoors becasue her cat eats it. No harm to the cat. I have two syngonium plants, both go outdoors in summer. A deer came into the yard, ate all the leaves off of both plants (and ate the sedum too!). The deer is fine, as far as I know. I doubt syngonium will harm a turtle.

    Sometimes if cuttings are left too long in water, they grow use to growing in that much water and when moved to soil, they can't survive. You can try overwatering the soil or moving them back to water permanently.

    The vine like behavior is an indicator that the plant may not be getting quite enough light. Placing it on top of the file cabinets may help to get it more light and help it start to grow more upright. You may also want to give it a little trim to help encourage branching.

    It probably won't kill her but may cause some pretty serious side effects (like difficulty breathing) so we would recommend that you keep her away from it.

    Fill pots about 2/3 full, add the plant and fill in around it leaving about an inch space at the rim. This article should also help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/houseplants/arrowhead-plant/arrowhead-plant-care-arrowhead-plant-or-syngonium-podophyllum.htm
