My niece just moved to Florida this week and found this after mowing the yard. What type is this ? My best guess is a southern painted turtle but looks like a tortoise to me??
I just finished the enclosure for my little RF Rexy who is about 6 months old. 2ft x 4ft made out of fiberglass coated plywood. 1/4 inch sliding glass doors. 1 100W Che and a 1 inch fan to disperse the heat. 24 inch 5.0 uvb T5 bulb. Plants inside are artificial and out of reach. How did I do...
Dang, I was hoping they would be ok for a while. I will get started on making a new enclosure. My current setup is only 36x17 so splitting in half would be too cramped. Thanks for the help! I have a lot to learn
Thank for for the responses.
I ordered 1 baby and received 2! Can I keep them in the same enclosure while they are young or do I need to seperate immediately? I was not prepared for 2 enclosures. I am still struggling to get the temp/humidity right in just one.
Hello all, I am new here and a new tortoise dad. Just received 2 baby RFs a few days ago. One looks very healthy while the other is dry around the edges and has a funky looking plastron. Should I be concerned or wait and see how he does in a proper enclosure with the right temp/humidity?
