Thanks for the reply. I don't know if it does. If so what would it be?Almost looks like ground ivy to me. Does it get little purple flowers on it?
Its definitely not mallow.Take a look in here…
common mallow
Rounded leaves are slightly wavy with serrated edges and have a long leaf stem. Leaves and stems are covered with short hairs. Growth habit is low and spreading. Thick, short taproot.www.preen.com

I can't quite figure out why/how this plant qualifies as "bad," it's just another one of the many plants in the mint/herb family. Rather, I should say I can't quite figure out why the Tortoise Table marks this plant as "bad" just because it can be problematic to mammals who ingest a ton. Reptiles aren't mammals last I checked!
It's perfectly fine to pull out anything that makes you uncomfortable, it's just that the "science" attached to this assessment seems misdirected at reptiles.
Given that it's in this plant family it probably smells and tastes quite strong, to the point many tortoises wouldn't eat it anyway. But again, do what feel right to you; you're the owner, not any of us!
True enough. Probably a sulcata; they always seem like dogs to me, seems like they will eat anything.On the other hand, we are their protectors, and there's always the chance that your pet is the random one that decides to eat an entire row of lily and top it off with a can of gasoline.
That was my thought also but we don't have ground ivy so couldn't make an informed guess!It looks like a variety of wild geranium to me which my sulcata seems to enjoy, picture this app agrees geranium sp.!
