Yes I though so too, but the ones I have have much longer leaves and not quite so drawn out...

I've got a book of plants which has a succulents section, I'll have a look tomorrow morning, and if it's in there, I'll let you know.

My mum gave me it to feed to tortoises. If u snap a leaf in half this clear sticky stuff comes out. Thanks for everyone's responses

It is aloe vera, I have one in my table for Tilly but she's not really interested. They can grow quite tall.

Agreed its aloe vera:0)
Can be fed sparingly as it can give runny poos.
Excellent for cutting and putting the sap on wounds of humans or tortoises.
