New home is starting to come together! We moved Humphrey in today.

Thanks guys! Mixing mainly because, where I live I have been unable to locate Coco coir anywhere but at pet stores, so mixing in something like topsoil will prove to be much more economical.

Hi! I am gathering supplies for my Red Foots new enclosure. I'm planning on having the top 2 inches of substrate be Cypress mulch. The bottom 4 inches Coco Coir, but can I mix it with something? Play sand? Topsoil? Peat Moss? Any recommendations? Thanks!

They do! I hope I have enough decorating prowess to hold a candle to the others I've seen. :)

Our hopes is to hang the lamps down from the tent poles, and be suspended into the enclosure itself.. will have to see how things go as we go on.

This is Humphrey Poptart's current enclosure. It's a Zoomed Tortoise House. Humidity has been a huge issue, so we have resorted to using a shower curtain to help. It works, but it's not pretty and the enclosure is too small for my liking. I got this awesome idea for an enclosure from Elohi...

We got ours yesterday! Installed the shower curtain today. It was such a ***** to snap together, but we did it! Humphrey won't be moved into this enclosure until mid-August (we are going away and he is being taken care of by a co-worker in his current Zoomed Tortoise Table). My husband was very...

I wonder if you could set up two side by side somehow and bore a hole to have a 4x8 enclosure? I guess it's kinda hard with how they are built.

This idea gave me enough inspiration to order this kit for my Redfoot!! I'm excited! Does that humidifier come with the tubing I see?

Redfoots require a lot more humidity than most. My redfoot is currently housed in a ZooMed Tortoise Table, and I had to cover the top with a shower curtain, or else the humidity just immediately goes away.

Thanks for the info! It will be a while before we move anyways (if we do!). Hubby is eligible for his Canadian Citizenship next year, so after he gets that we can apply for my Green Card. THEN move.

Hi! My husband and I currently live in Ontario, Canada. My husband is an American Citizen/Canadian Permanent Resident. We have discussed me getting a Green Card in the US and potentially moving (either northern AZ or west Florida). We have a Red Footed tortoise, and I was just curious if anyone...

Redfoot Tortoise

Hi! I am hoping to convert a dresser into a tortoise table for Humphrey Poptart, my redfoot. He is only about 4 months old right now so the Zoomed Tort Table is working for now, so I figure I have some time to rig this... I'd like this to become a long-term enclosure. He will have an outdoor...
