Pea pods as apart of a balanced diet are no problem. If you have a ton of pods sitting around, however, do not expect to get rid of them this way!

Check out this link for a great article on tortoise diet.

Too many peas/pea pods can bind calcium, but if you're supplementing to food with calcium the occasional pea pod is no problem!! They love variety. I've got a couple Uromastyx, and they are positively ADDICTED to peas/pea pods.
