These are all weeds that my family & i have collected while roaming the overgrown fields here in Ventura County. We do not know what they are so I figured I'd post here. We have not given any to him yet. . .We wanted to make sure they are safe before digging some up to put in his enclosure...

can you use the repti bark?
Someone at Petsmart said I could use it with my juvenile CA. Desert tortoise.
