Hopefully this is the proper place to put this. I couldn't think of anywhere better.

I bought a couple of these for a new enclosure because I've always liked them. Although, I'm still not entirely sure if they are "Safe". I can't find anything about them possibly being toxic, and it seems the general opinion is they are safe for dogs and cats. I'm assuming they will be okay for tortoises, but I figured I'd throw it out there in case anyone has experience with them.
Here are some pics, so you know what I'm talking about. The plant is also called "Shell ginger"
