Is this a Bromeliad? And is it safe to be in my hatchling sulcata enclosure? Toxic? Edible?

www.thetortoisetable.org.uk is a good guide to tort safe plants.
Just use the plant database or type in the name in the search box.
It has pics so you can check you have the right name.

Aechmea fasciata - Not dangerous; not edible.
But if he were to try to taste it he would be ok?
I've always had them around. They grow everywhere.
Edible or not, I've never seen a tortoise even taste one.
OK, I was just trying to plant for decor not for food. So you've had them in your enclosures without any issues to your torts?
