Default Help identifying these 3 plants/weeds

Hi, I am trying to identify these three different plants/weeds. They are all found in a large grassy verge near where I work.
I am trying to find out if any are suitable for reptiles, so I need to know what these plants are so I can find out.
Thank you.

Assuming that the plants are growing wild in Britain ...

Probably Ranunculus acris (field buttercup); a few Geraniums can look
similar in leaf. Buttercups are toxic.

Plantago lanceolata (ribwort plantain)

Alliaria petiolata (garlic mustard)

But if you want to feed them to reptiles you presumably want to be 110%
certain of identification, so you may wish to wait for them to flower.

Thank you for your reply. I am glad you said ribwort plantain for the second one as I worked it out to be that as well which is safe for many reptiles. I will still wait until I am completely certain as you said until I use any as feed.

Thanks again.
