Looks like some variety of wild lettuce. Lactuca indica or similar.

And yes, edible (for tortoises anyway) ;)

On the back of the leaves on the spine it has teenie softer spikes and when you break it it has a white residue kind of like milk weed. I was 99% sure it was edible for him, its just giant lol. The leaves are so huge so I could feed him with it forever it seems like lol

It’s a very happy and bushy wild lettuce. Any chance you had big rain this year?

At any rate, very edible. :)

Screenshot_20200522-124745_Chrome.jpgHello, I have some Daisy's in my yard. I just need another opinion on what type if Daisy's , I want on the Tortise Table to identify them. This is what I believe them to be Ox-eyed Daisy's. The first picture is from TT, the second in mine in the back yard. Ox-eyed Daisy's are same in moderation for my Sulcata. What your opinion.
