    New Red Foot hatchling (Houston, TX)

    My husband has offered to make a plexi glass cover for the top, so that is still an option before I buy a new enclosure. I've only had him since Friday, so he's had romaine lettuce for two days and 2 large mazurri pellets one day. The Mazurri pellets came from the lady I purchased him from...

    If it is an RES, I am sure it wondered up into our property after all that rain we had in May and June. I'll just keep an eye out for it, and move it to the river if I see it.
