Banana leaf

[gustaf]

And i think i have offered some to my sulcata in the past and i dont think he was to intersted either. I may try that again soon and see if he will eat them. Mot sure if theres much nutrition in them but it will probably add some fiber if nothing else. Of course my torts have very large enclosures with plenty of grass and weeds and other vegetation to eat.

So I'm confused. I thought they were toxic to tortoises. I have banana trees everywhere, I give 20-25 baby trees away every summer cause their popping up everywhere at my house. I just cut them down about an inch from the dirt after the first frost every fall, the following spring they pop right back up and there is usually 3-5 baby trees that come up around each larger tree. So I CAN attempt to feed my Sullys and leopard the leaves? I wanted to plant their outside enclosure with them for shade but didn't cause I swear someone said they were toxic. Of course it's to late now cause it's 20 degrees and I have cut them down but come spring/early summer, if these are safe for them to eat, I will send the baby's to whoever wants some.

Here is the guy i received mine from. They all grew well! Freezing overnight temps now, so all trimmed back and into the garage for a long Winter's nap.

I never received mine, not sure if they even charged me. I'll have to look into what happened.
