    Tort Enclosures, Ventilation vs. Humidity

    I have a redfoot in a 2-story table (made with wire grid shelving units and coroplast floor/walls). To keep up the heat and humidity, I actually got a 6’x6’ pop up greenhouse to enclose his table, and it’s in his own room. I have his heat lamps, che’s, and a hot steam humidifier going in there...

    Male redfoot in heat - help!

    He would if could, I’m sure! He mostly just stares off into the distance afterwards and then naps. ?

    Male redfoot in heat - help!

    I’ve had Clyde for over 30 years, and this is just a way of life for us. ? I’ve tried to give him things to “love,” like a small, partially deflated soccer ball that looks like a tort, but he prefers brown leather boots. Haha. Oh, and the Dustbuster? He’s also taken to an old fabric car trash...

    Ramps for Large Tortoises

    I know this is an older thread, but I’m trying to figure out the same thing and wonder what you ended up doing? Or if anyone else has done this since the original question was posted? Thanks!!

    Best “companion” for lonely male?

    That’s pretty much what’s happening! I did get him a small soccer ball and partially deflated it so it wouldn’t roll away, but I think he’s forever a shoe guy. I just need to be careful where I keep mine so he doesn’t accumulate too many partners! Ha

    Best “companion” for lonely male?

    Hi all, Clyde is a 33 year old redfoot who has always had a very active libido! He prefers shoes, unfortunately. Has anyone discovered good substitutes for their males? It would be great to have a dedicated “toy” for him so my shoes are spared. Any ideas are welcomed! Thanks!!
