Thanks you two! She is awesome, I was lucky to come across her when I did! :D

Haven't posted in here in a while, even though I check the forum often! I have had my Cherry Head, Morla, for almost 10 months now and she has grown a ton! All of her new growth is perfectly smooth which makes me so happy. Means I'm doing SOMEthing right! She is still quite shy but not as quick...

Ugh, I love your little tort family so much!

My girl floats too in the bath tub :) I fill it up to halfway up her shell on the shallow end of the tub but she always wanders to the deep end near the drain to paddle around. It's amusing!

starlightgeckos is me! I post photos of all of my reptiles if you enjoy geckos and lizards and snakes as well ^_^

Definitely closed! With an open enclosure you're going to have issues with low humidity and your Tort will most likely end up dehydrated and pyramided. :(

Nope it won't hurt them! I will grab my girl and place her in front of her food in the morning if she has buried herself because I know if she buries herself she most likely won't be coming up anytime soon, ha. (I have a cherry head) :)

She has lots of hides and her UV light is only on one end of her enclosure so it's not super bright everywhere. Also as I said in my previous post I use tube bulbs, not the compact fluorescent ones. :)

Thank you! I will head to my local hardware store to look for one first and not then I'll order online!

Here is a top view of her whole self as of about a week ago :)

I don't have a hygrometer, no, I haven't been able to find a good one around here :\ But I have a ton of sphagnum moss that I soak each morning in her enclosure and at the end of the day if I lift up the cover to her enclosure I can feel the wet, warm air come out. (yes it's a closed chamber)...

This might be a strange request but can I see photos of your guy's Red Foot's eyes? I feel like my girl's eyes are always partly closed compared to when I got her. Do tortoises have a clear eyelid like cats that can swell? I feel like the corner of her eye (tear duct?) is always swollen. :\...

The moss/grass growth is looking good to me! That'll be awesome if it works out :D I love your tortoises <3

Gorgeous tortoise and I love the enclosure ^_^ You did a good job with planting and landscaping it. ;)

Here are a couple of links that I thought would be useful! http://tortoise.org/archives/carbdent.html and one from the forum http://www.tortoiseforum.org/threads/differences-between-red-foot-and-yellow-foots.14270/
