No, that is pathos. It is sometimes found on the do not feed lists. But that is mainly because those lists are about mammals.

"Insoluble calcium oxalates
Clinical Signs:
Oral irritation, intense burning and irritation of mouth, tongue and lips, excessive drooling, vomiting, difficulty swallowing. "

It grows wild in South America, and it wouldn't surprise me one bit if it was part of the redfooted tortoise diet down there. I wouldn't feed it on purpose, but I don't think a bite or two here and there is going to harm your tortoise.

Rosie ate half a pothos leaf about 2 months ago with no ill effects, but then again she's a redfoot. Definitely wouldn't purposely feed it but as said before, better safe than sorry.
