This is a list of the Succulents I just bought and the names are really strange, need to know if they are safe to plant inside my Tortoise Enclosure.

-Sedum 'rubrotinctum'
-Graptoveria 'Titubans' **
-Graptopetalum paraguayense 'Ghosty" **
-Graptosedum 'California Sunset'
-Crassula perforata variegata
-Euphorbia tirucalli 'Firesticks'
-Kalanchoe millotii
-Echeveria 'Lola'**

What you have posted in the picture is fine to plant in a habitat. I doubt your tortoise would even try to taste them.

Yup those are fine. My Russians would gobble those up in short order.

I recently saw Home Depot had little 2" pots of plants like those and aloe. Do I need to do anything to them before I put them into my RTs enclsure? I thought of getting an aloe, hen & chick and maybe a third one.

I just tried to remove all the dirt from the roots because they used soil with the little white fertilizer in it just to be safe. I got all my succulents from Home Depot, if you get a aloe plant, save some and plant in a separate poor they will grow like weeds and you will always have some, my tortoise LOVES to chomp down my aloe plants I plant in her enclosure.
Thanks everyone for help!!!

Thanks! Will it hurt him if he eats the aloe plant that grew in the soil that had the little white fertilizer pieces?
