Hey everyone! I have a 3 year old redfoot tortoise and I am upgrading his enclosure. I got a 6x3 Toad Ranch enclosure. It has the light bar that spans the length (can't show pictures yet cause I have not built it). My question is what is the best way to close chamber this? He is currently in a...

Thank you so much. I will do that. I have a rough kind of surfaced log hide in there that he will occasionally climb on and loves to use it to hide under, so I wonder if that's what did it.

My plan was to get a hatchling and then definitely upgrade the enclosure at some point.

Hello everyone! My chameleon passed and I am looking to repurpose it for a redfoot tortoise, but need some guidance. The cage is 2x2x4. My idea was to lay it down so the front door would be on the top. The wood is water sealed, but I know screen is not ideal for the sides. I also have...
