Tomato leaves

So I daily put Morpheus on the windowsill so he can bask in natural sunlight, and nearby my sister has a garden of sorts going on. Now one of these plants is a large tomato plant, which pretty much expands on the ground. I hadn't really worried about it, as I always feed Morpheus before putting him to bask so he's not hungry....but today he was exploring and I guess he was just curious and he took a couple bites from the leaves of the tomato plant. I immediatly looked this up and apparently it's toxic to bearded dragons??
=/
He only ate 2 leaves, and they weren't very big. Should I be worried about this??

I would keep a close eye on him and call a reptile vet at the first sign of any problems.

The leaves contain tomatine, some sort of poison. I don't have any idea how it would affect a reptile, though. Hornworms eat those leaves like there is no tomorrow and are not harmed. I'd agree with the wait and see approach.
