It's ok in the habitat because your turtle won't eat it.

It is a marginata if i remeber correctly. I was in landscape for a few years and we had a tropical plat greenhouse with these. Let me see if i can find some facts.

DRACAENA marginata (dragon tree) is listed as non posionous to reptiles. It looks like this plant you have should be fine. Many lidts on the web if the facts they share are indeed accurate.

Where did it come from some store bought plants have a lot of bug killers and furtalizers on them that can kill torts .

It's probably safe if it's Dracaena and it looks like it is, but as Grandpa says, just make sure it's ok if it's store bought as it may have been sprayed with something potentially toxic.
