Both the torts are 3 years old and approx 6 inches each

did you try clicking on the thumbnail attached? The link didnt seem to work, but the thumbnail works for me

Anyone here able to tell me if these are both males? male and female? both female? thanks in advance

So far there hasn't been any biting. Just the shoving and flipping. I was thought that redfoots could live together. Is it possible they are just establishing who is the boss and then they will be okay? I really do not have room to have them each in separate enclosures.

I'm not sure what is going on with my redfoots. Simon and Garfunkel have been together since they were both just a few months old. Now they're each a year old and have decided to have issues. At first I thought the shoving matches were due to the enclosure becoming outgrown by them. So, a few...

lol the pug in the pic is a statue, but I do have a pug that sits just like that

I simply taped it in place with Gorilla Tape, which seems to be holding up fine for now. I considered using a hot glue gun and gluing it on that way, which if the current method fails is what I would go to next

I'm happy with it, and so are the torts. It's like a little tortoise castle. :D Maybe I need to mount mini flags on the ends

So, I cut out the top along the red line which proved to be more difficult than I expected. lol I don't own a jigsaw, and my saber saw blade was too short to get in-between the ridges. I tried an exacto knife but that wouldn't do either. I ended up using a sharp sushi knife (which will now need...

Thanks for clarifying. So it is just about the same as the screening I was planning on doing if I cut the whole. This is probably what I will end up going with since plexiglass seems to be expensive. I'm running voer to the hardware store today to check it out.

When you say to install hardware cloth, I'm not sure what that is. Are you saying to cover the whole I cut with the hardware cloth? Or screen over the whole, and hardware cloth on the inside of what is left of the lid?

I appreciate all e input so far. I've thrown out the idea of the blue line cut. I'm thinking either the red line cut or plexicover as I really want to be able to see them and the smaller opening would feel like I was hiding them away. Plexiglass would be my first choice, but have to see if I...

I had thought about the sagging issue, so I would definitely have to go with a thicker plexi if I went that route. Adding sides to raise it up like an upside down box would be nice if I can figure out a way. I like the plexi cover idea as it would allow the best viewing of my torts. [hr]...

I'm guessing that people may be thinking this is not a good idea at all since no one - aside from Angela (ty) - is replying. Maybe not even use the lid at all, but just get a large piece of plexiglass cut to fit where the lid fits now and drill holes for ventilation? This would make it safe for...

thanks Angela. There are two air slots at each end that are about 3"x1.5" Once I make the cout out on the top they should be getting plenty of air flow. I worry more that if I cut along the blue line then the heat lamp would only keep the center warm. The small enclosure they currently live in...
