: Major misconception, kale is great for tortoises. I believe this kale is bad theory came around because people began believing oxalic acid was bad.

Justin is absolutely right. Kale and collard are the same species of plant, merely different varieties. The oxalate content of kale should not be a concern as it is extremely low. Collard and kale do both contain goitrogens but not significant levels.
