    New owner of THREE Red-Footed Tortoises

    Thanks Willee, yeah I thought it would be a good idea to get them at the same time to raise together. I’m excited to watch these guys grow and provide them the best life possible.

    Hey Yvonne, yes in my house it’s a nice cool 72 and minimal humidity lol ? I keep them outside though. Only pets my wife allows inside are her 3 African Greys and our dog. Maybe when the kids get a bit older and out grow their play room I can turn that into a tortoise room, maybe even a part of...

    This is on the cool side. Going to order two more to have in warm side. I moved them back and forth every two hours and numbers did go up even more on “hotter” side.

    Thanks for those links! I’ll definitely give that care sheet a read through as well. Also ordering one of the better humidity gauges as we speak. How would one of those close chamber enclosures fair outside? That’s the only road block I’m seeing in my case, as I’m not keeping them inside the...

    Sterant says for hatchlings he drops night temps to 70 degrees. On that end I’m not worried especially here during summer. but I will definitely get a better humidity ready and keep a close on it.

    I’ll look into the Accurite and Govee gauges for sure then. And for now yes, I have these three and three red foots(both separate boxes). I planned on making them a bigger table after they hit a year to last them till they could move to the 40’x30’ enclosures they’ll live in. My wife has allowed...

    Tom you have any pictures of some of your closed chamber enclosures? I searched up an older post by you in 2011 but the pictures weren’t there anymore :/ Also, in a closed chamber how do you manage airflow? I put two humidity readers in the tortoise box just for peace of mind originally, I’m...

    Hey @Tom, thanks for the feed back. Everything I’ve read says around 80-85% humidity, is that what you recommend as well? I am in Miami, humidity down here has been around 75-85% consistently and temps in their table is around 80-82 in the cool side and 85-90 on the warmer side. I’ve read over...

    Over the weekend we added 3 Radiated hatchlings to the family! They are about a month and a half, and as rambunctious as they get. So active and feeding like little monsters. We picked them up from Ryan at @Southernreptiles He was awesome and very helpful giving me a thorough walk through since...
