Spider plant?

Yes it is, I think they have an occasional nibble at it as it is edible but its not one they wolf down I dont think. So hopefully it will survive.

Yes I have them in my tortoise tables, haven't killed them off yet. My torts don't eat them though they just hide under the leaves. When I spray the plant they seem to like that xx

Do you know what kind of soil it is in? I re-pot any shop bought ones for mine in case there are any fertilizers in the soil. You knock off as much of the soil as you can and put it in sterilized top soil.

Aloe is a good one as well but I put one in with Elvis and he ate the whole thing lol so it's good if they are taller than your tort can reach if you want them to last a while. I also have a gloxinia in my Redfoots house she never eats it but likes sitting under it.
