What is ok?

[Amanda81]

So again, conflicting care sheets. I am on the hunt for some plants for my indoor enclosure and one sheet says pothos and plumosa fern are ok and another says it's fine to use. I would really like to add
Pothos
Carex- mop head grass
Stonecrop-dragons blood
Asparagus Fern
Most of these are listed on the edible landscape list on african tortoise.com. Is this a reliable list? I would die if I harm my little ones because of something I gave them

Your statement is conflicting. Did you mean to say one sight says it's NOT ok and the other says its FINE?
I usually use thetortoisetable.org.uk, however, any site that is for tortoise safe plants I would use. I haven't really heard of any of them being bad or wrong. Always add as part if a varied diet.

Yes one says these plants are fine and another says their not safe. Like pothos, I would like to cover the entire back of my enclosure with it to make it look more natural looking but at this point I'm scared to. I would like to use a asparagus fern, kangaroo fern, stonecrop(dragons blood), and some fiber optic grass(isolepis cernila) but again not sure if these are safe.

Yes...the Africantortoise.com edible landscaping list is just fine for you to go by.

I have a mint plant in my enclosure. Safe to eat but not keen due to the smell so it is perfect.

Mint likes it shady by the way
