I've just gotten my first Hermann's Tortoise and I'm silly excited to combine my love of tortoises with my love of succulents. I've been trying my best to "weed out" (I'm so sorry) the toxic from non toxic, pouring over threads, but I have found conflicting information.

I read that cotyledon is toxic. But on another thread I read that cotyledon orbiculata is fine. I'd love to know if cotyledon pendens is okay, because I've grown SO MUCH OF IT haha.

I've read a lot that Jade is fine, but is all crassula okay? Again, I have a lot of different types of crassula, particularly crassula marnierana, perforata, and pellucida variegated.

Pictures for tax.
*also be kind, my little Reggie had to come home the day before I had his real home with real good food, so his habitat and breakfast was not ideal in this photo BUT IT'S SO CUTE.

I'm not sure about those succulents.
I'm bad at plant ID
But I just wanted to warn you about the carrots in the photo. Carrots have a high sugar content and should very rarely be fed. If at all.
Most tortoises can not process sugars

Yes, thank you! That's why I put my little disclaimer about his habitat and breakfast in that picture in my post :)
