Will it grow in a habitat? I always see them at the grocery store, organic wheatgrass planted in a 4x4. Has anyone just transplanted them right into a habitat/tank/table?
Thanks Terryo for the response! Your hide looks awesome by the way.. Very natural. I love the abundance of plants (both live/silk) and want to get a lot of them going like that too..
As far as heat goes I am going go to order a CHE from amazon. Wouldnt be surprised if i ended up getting two of...
I am wondering what ideal conditions are for my Redfoot's hiding spot/cave? (for his indoor enclosure)
He is in a 40 gal breeder, with a large Exo Terra under tank heater stuck to the bottom of it. Substrate is a full big bag of Zoo Med forest floor. His hide is a terra cotta pot that I broke...
The big apple unit looks legit. I did some research on the night time temp drop feature too.. Pretty cool. I wouldn't be surprised if I ended up with the zoo med unit in the short term.
Also.. How resistant are ceramic heat emitters to moisture? Or getting water on them from misting/things...
I thought the zoo med temp controllers were pretty solid? What is a more industrial/professional/better built temp controller? Does Exo Terra make a good one?
Alright for sure.. That actually makes more sense.. Rourke's enclosure is sitting at about 81 during the day, around 85 directly under the lamp. I really need to get it warmer in there. I'm most likely going to add a ceramic heat emitter to his setup, it's that or another under-tank heater? But...
Thank you very much.. We appreciate it.
He definitely seems to be moving around faster, he seems way more alert, and more curious about things as time goes on. He lets me rub the top of his head and even part of his neck now. But he always seems to pee when I'm holding him.
And about the...
Here is a vid of Rourke rompin in the front yard. The guy I got him from didn't take his tortoises outside, so I really have no idea how long it's been since this little guy got to roam around like this..
I let him run around on days when it's pretty warm, and for a couple hours at a time.. I...
Hey thank you both so much for the reply's... Glad to hear from someone that the Carapace isn't too bad. The spots on the bottom as well.. I figured it was shell rot, but I am glad that it's not as bad as I'm sure it could be.
My name is Bruce, I will have to add it into my signature...
I wanted to throw up a good pic of his carapace too. The majority of younger Redfoots I've seen seem to have a similar looking shell, but I really want to know whether this is healthy or not.
If this IS pyramiding, how bad is it? and is it something that with time and proper care, will go...
Here are some pretty detailed (I hope) pictures of his plastron, and what I think is the shell rot. If it is I'm hoping it's not that bad? he's been here home with us for just a little over 2 weeks, and the damage on the shell has seemed to harden up a bit since he first got here, and it...
Hello to everyone at the forum. In many of the things I've done in the past, I've gotten a lot of help form people through forums....hoping I will have good luck here as well!
My girlfriend and I recently adopted our first tortoise a little over two weeks ago now, a Redfoot male that I named...
