I have this stuff growing around my house. Looks like Spanish Bayonet, but it is not hard and sharp like the bayonet. It is incredibly resiliant and can grow quite large. I was wondering if it might be safe to plant along the outside of the sulcata pen for decoration. He wouldn't be able to eat a lot but might score a nibble on occasion. What do you all think?

See if you can find it on thetortoisetable.org.uk. Otherwise it probably wouldn't hurt. It's said that they usually won't eat what is not good for them. Just wouldn't purposely plant items knowingly bad where they could eat a lot of it.

Huh, looks like a neat plant, but I have no idea what it is. Hopefully somebody can ID it for you.

Could it be moses in a basket? You are in Florida, right? They reproduce quickly there. If it is moses, it's safe. But dogs have a bad allergy to it.

I am in Florida, but I don't think that's it. No purple on it and the leaves don't come out as close as the Moses pictures I've found.
