Vine ID please

[RiverBreezy]

This vine grows all over the trees and fence in our yard. Tortellini does not have access, but it would be nice if I could feed him the leaves. Does anyone know what it is? I am in northeast FL if that helps.

Looks to be Virginia Creeper, I feed it to my tortoises.

I think you're right. I just looked it up on the Tortoise Table website, but it says not to feed.

I got a couple 'starts' of Virginia Creeper from a fellow tortoise-keeper who said her desert tortoises loved the stuff. I planted it and it grew very nicely. The next year, the Manouria discovered it and ate the whole thing. Then I saw on the TortoiseTable that it shouldn't be fed. What???

It grows here and Louisiana and my sulcatas eat it on occasion on their own. Seems to be harmless

The zoo here feeds it to many of their herbivores, and the wildlife rehab feeds it to their gopher tortoises
