Does anyone know what type of succulent this is and if tortoise can eat?

I don’t remember the name of this succulent, but I feed it as a treat to my sulcata and leopard Does this look the same?

Kalanchoe fedtschenkoi
Cowboy Ken's is a Hylotelephium - not closely related.
I would not feed either.

I have hylotelephium, and have fed it to my tort on several occasions after seeing it as a safe feed in the TTT. Will you please let us know the reason you wouldn't feed it?

I have no references that describe toxicity from Hylotelephium, but I have observed that very few animals or insects eat these plants. If our gophers don't eat something, that makes me suspicious.

Interesting, I'm constantly battling grasshoppers and slugs on mine. I wonder if some varieties have different tastes that make them unappealing.
