i used to have one ... until my torts attacked it

aloe vera is edible for torts in moderation, but if you put it in their house it might be better to keep it out of their reach, and then feed them a piece occasionally.

Fed as part of a mixed diet its ok, in excess then runny poos happen. Great for breaking and
putting on any small cut you or your tortoise might have.

I had an aloe vera plant in my torts table for decoration,. They tipped the pot over and ate the whole plant before anyone noticed!
LOL and they're only 8 months old
