I don't suppose you asked the store what the plants were did you? Or is there a label with a plant name?

The banana tree is safe, the palm, my cats eat it and they don't get sick, the last looks like a type of pothos, which I feed to my manouria.

I asked they had trouble with even saying the name. Of the fern looking one. But she said the one was a gold leaf pothos banana plant. She said it's what te sheet said she said all grown for tortoises and animals but I don't trust that.

looked on the tortoise table and have trouble finding it due to different names. But I know the one is a pothos look like one and the other banana plant. The middle one is my troubles. But pothos is safe right?

I have offered pothos to forest dwellers only, not sure about other species of tortoises.

The fern looking one, I believe is a type of palm,it looks like some I have growing in different places around the house,in pots and in the ground.they don't need a lot of (if any) direct sun light, should do good in an enclosure, if not destroyed by the tortoise.

Its an excellent resource :)
