I've never had an issue with a tortoises eating Pothos. However a friend has cautioned me that leopard tortoises (neonates) will sometimes get what is described as a swollen face from it. It is safe in the sense that is often eaten, but maybe pay close attention to how they react to it.

It's been many months since I posted a deal of the month. I recently got the web page more functional and easier to use, without to many visual changes. But, there always seem to be nagging stupid things I've overlooked. Prices inverse from package size (small amount more expensive than large...

The more I think I understand tortoises, the more they humble me. I often suggest, as an example of interaction when people want to get two baby tortoises, that they tress each other out and even if it is not measurable with blood tests (stress hormones) it become apparent over time by one...

I used a heated insulated night house inside of a green house for some radiated. They sunny day, daytime warmth is good for outside the night house, but in the greenhouse. There are videos of it somewhere here in TFO land.

I'd allow for a cooler cool end, into the mid 70's F. Pancakes can heat stress more easily than other species in my experience.
