I currently have 2 Cherryhead yearlings (indoors) and a couple of desert box turtles in an outdoor enclosure. I put a tortoise blend of seeds and some lettuces and other edible plants in the box turtle enclosure and they are almost overgrowing the enclosure. I was wondering if it is okay to feed the plants from the box turtle enclosure to the cherryheads that are inside as long as I wash it well? Or is there a worry about cross contamination between species even if I wash the leaves well?

Thanks!

Most likely there is a risk as you can't kill anything on it with just rinsing it.
