Is this plant safe for a Russian Tortoise to eat?
Based on the leaf type....looks to be a member of the succulent family of plants, but I’m not sure of the exact species. Do you know? Are you planning on feeding, or just want to place this plant in the enclosure? @Iochroma might know....
I'm not sure the species. We've had it forever in my house. It would be in the enclosure, not food. It would be within reach for the tort to eat.
I'm wondering if anyone knows what kind of succulent this is? 
A Peperomia, perhaps ferryae, or one of its hybrids. It needs more light than it has been receiving.
The genus does not have any dangerously toxic members as scar as i can tell.

Makes sense...good name, peperomia! Based on the elongated leaves.
