I’m not 100% sure this is an aloe…do you have any photos of the full plant/from further out?

Definitely not an aloe. Looks like a Christmas cactus to me.

Definitely not aloe. A better poc would be good, but definitely giving more holiday cactus.

It’s a thanksgiving cactus🥰🙌 I was out and about yesterday and couldn’t wait to get home 😏 I scanned it this morning \& it’s name is deemed: Mr. Turkey

It is neither an aloe or a Christmas cactus, although Christmas cactus is close. It's a Thanksgiving cactus. You can differentiate between Christmas and Thanksgiving cactus by the margins of the pads. Thanksgiving cactus has those pointy little edges whereas Christmas cactus is more smooth.

I had already commented that I scanned it and such but thank you. Great eye to be able to tell by my pic🤓
