a lot of sedums are labeled "ice plant" and most of those are safe for tortoises. As with any sedum, don't let them eat too much because the high water content can cause diarrhea.

Another warning, Carl's favorite food is a sedum, and once I started to let him eat it, it took him a week to get him interested in other types of food :p
