    Houdini, the Red Foot

    Need to rehome Houdini. I'm hoping to avoid having to ship him but will consider it. Unfortunately, my health has cratered & I'm no longer able to care for him, so I'm looking for a good home for this very trainable, gentle tort. Please email me if you're interested. He would come with about...

    Is my redfooted dying?

    It would be helpful to Deadpool to get & keep his temperature up to 84-86 degrees the whole 24 hrs while he is sickly. He hasn't been getting his food-share because wolverine has intimidated him so separation was & is essential. My red foot Houdini loves 86 degrees, especially at night. I...

    Smoking Marijuana in the same room

    A recent report indicated smoking marijuana has the same effect on your lungs & your body as smoking cigarettes. This ain't your 60's or 70's Marijuana. Just sayin'

    Is my Horsefield tortoise a male or female ?

    As an amateur tortoise owner with 1 tortoise, you never know for sure until they whip out their penis...then you know. You can't "unsee it."

    My Latest Endeavor...

    Fab, I had no clue you owned the emus. I'll pay more attention in the future! The commercials actually usually appeal to my warped sense of humor.

    Smoking Marijuana in the same room

    Houdini likes his meal late afternoon before the sun sets. Now that we've lost daylight savings, I'm always getting that side eye look.

    Smoking Marijuana in the same room

    Houdini doesn't look at me directly if he's peeved with me. He turns his head & looks at me with one eye.

    Feel like a steam room inside the enclosure

    It is all about the tweaking. The tweaking really never stops because you always have changing variables, including your tort is growng & changing. You're doing what you should be doing: asking questions & finding solutions. Good for you!

    Harmonious Redfoot groups

    I love Houdini but I honestly don't have the energy or time to care for more than 1 tortoise. He's grown from 3 lbs in July 2021 to 7-1/2 lbs in April 2023. He's always looking to escape when he's outside. So I am happy to say "hi" to the box turtles roaming around our 2 acres & the tree...

    COLD DARK ROOM

    It's been raining almost non-stop here since Monday night. No violent weather so far. We need the rain as it's been a dry spring & the lake is 6' below normal with high winds & grass fires.

    tortoise inactivity, shaky walking

    If you can. Find out what medicine the vet gave your little one. The meds could be responsible for a decline in appetite.
