Enclosure plants

[Jabuticaba]

Hi all. Just wondering if these would be safe for my torts, in case they nibble on them. Tks!!

1)

2)

3)

4)

These are my backyard. I think we call them blue bells, here. Also, are raspberry leaves ok for torts??




Thank you!!!

Sorry, I am no good on plant ID. You can check on the tortoisetable.org to see if they are listed there. You can look them up by name or color, so it's easy.

I believe I had the the 4th one in my enclosure and it is safe for torts. I would compare it now but I'm the only person who managed to kill a cactus.

#2 is areca palm. The seeds and fruit are edible, so I doubt the foliage would be toxic. But probably not palatable. I have used these in decorating indoor habitats before and none of the tortoises tried to eat it.

#3 is draecena. The saponins in dracena plants induce vomiting in mammals.

#4 is crassula (jade) and is edible.

Raspberry leaves:

Whoops! Sorry, I just posted what looked the same as the pics posted.

I'm a bit unsure if the last one is a English blue bell, it looks like it , English blue bells are not safe to feed.

leaves on 'bluebell' do not look like they are bulbs...which the tortoisetable bluebells appear to be....I don't recognize what it is, though
