Yup! They have a garden fence separating them inside and outside.

That’s what I’m thinking too! Thanks!

Opinions on thier sex? They are only 3 ish years old and both have pretty flat plastrons.

Just wanted to share the outdoor enclosure we’ve been working on. The bottom is cinderblocks, drainage rocks, a lot of coco coir, orchard bark, and a section of clover. We have 2 torts so there’s a wall separating them. Both sides of the top lifts up and folds over, then you can open the gate...

It’s completely closed. Every side is closed with thick plastic sheeting. The top and back have 1inch insulation sheets taped to the plastic. The front door section has 2 removable insulation sheets that I put over the plastic if needed. Those gaps in the insulation sheet on the top have plastic...

NEW plastic fencing and weather strips! Thanks guys! Cedar crisis averted! 😅

Omg cypress NOT cedar 🤦🏻‍♀️ ugh im heading to Lowe’s right now to look for a different ‘fence’! Thank you for explaining the temperature thing more to me I needed that lol. And yes they have such different personalities that’s why I can’t give one back and will do whatever is needed to...

My husband picked out the ‘fence’ I tried to tell him but he thought it would be okay for them to see each other just not ‘touch’ each other. I swapped the CHEs with RHPs (radiant heat panels) I think it looks nicer and takes up less room and 200w each instead of 3 150 CHEs. And the heat panels...

TOM 😍 thanks for the reply! My husband has been hoping you would comment something good about all his hard work lol Gosh darn it! I thought cedar would be fine since some people use cedar mulch for substrate! 😭 do you know anything I can do to it to stop that from happening? I’ll look up stuff...

Hi! Thanks for always responding 😆 they are always active after soak time and during dinner. 1. The temps are staying the same all around for the most part, the front drops faster than the back when the thermostat kicks off the heat. I put the insulation sheet on the door at night or when I...

Like stated in the post, temps are stable 82-84. I just switched out the CHEs for the radiant heat panels and was watching the temps while I took these pictures.

Hello! 👋🏻 🐢 We have had these two Cherryhead Redfoots (approx 2-3 years old) for 2 weeks now! We named them after cherries of course. Stella and Rain. 🍒 We took a lot of your recommendations and wanted to share the current set up. This is just for now, we are very aware of how big each one...

Okay I’ll consider these and watch for if it happens again! She really likes the cuttlefish so I don’t want to take it away yet but that also scared the 💩 out of me. I do give them the calcium with d3 powder on food sometimes. Thank you for responding Alex! P.S. I took a lot of your...

Here’s the video of it happening! I’m probably being paranoid. But please someone tell me if I did something wrong and how to prevent her from choking or getting hurt! I use coco coir and orchard bark. It’s pretty big chunks of bark. And she was eating a cuttlefish bone.

Thank you I’ll look into using that instead!
