Couple of opossums tried to hole up in our backyard for a few nights. We ran them off but now fleas are everywhere, I don't think they will bother the torts but what is safe to use to get rid of them? I see lots of pet safe stuff out there but none of it specifies reptiles. Appreciate any...

Hey guys, been a log time since I posted. This is Groot she is about 6 to 7 years old now, after cleaning her the other day we noticed this going on with her shell. Otherwise seems healthy and is eating fine. Since we noticed it we have been keeping the area clean and wrapped with some...

Just thought i would post this. We bought a new house a few months ago and built this outdoor pen for the torts. They were in a 70 gallon aquarium before, so they are much happier now. Once they are big enough they will have full run of the yard, but for now we are keeping them safe. Still have...

This first guy is Groot, he is about 1 year old and was the first redfoot i got for my wife, last mothers day. He had started out a little rough because we slacked off on soaking him and didn't have proper humidity. He keeps getting bigger, but his shell is looking better, the creases from being...

My wife has three redfoots now, the oldest one is the first he just hit one year. For a few weeks now his poop has been more like a pile instead of the traditional log that we are used to seeing. Nothing looks odd about it except its shape. He is still eating fine and is nice and active. Is this...

I'm just curios, not for breeding purposes just in general? I was reading mixing cherry heads would be bad or not optimal at least, but has anyone kept the other breeds together? Thanks!

I have no idea how this happened.... Sometimes he tries to dig under the water bowl, but I can't see how he did this. There were no signs of digging... Off topic, our temps and humidity have been holding great! Torts are doing really well, you can see the gauge in the same pic.

I know there are a lot of threads for this, i read through a lot of them. We have a CFL/uvb bulb right now, I was reading that it's bad for the redfoots eyes. I'm going to get a florescent tomorrow, but i want to make sure i get the right thing. I'm looking at getting a Zoo Med ReptiSun...

We have two Redfoots, less than a year old and we were wondering how old they are when of if they try to fight? We were just watching them and the younger one climbed over the older completely, then tried to bite the top of his head while he was sitting on him. I know they bite everything to...

Hey all, my wife has two baby Redfoots and we had a question about the one guys shell. The wrinkles in the top of his shell from being in the egg have not gone away. He/she is 9 months old and seems to be very healthy. Eats fine loves to run around. It has looked that way since we got him, we...

Just signed up to ask a few questions, we are new Redfoot owners. Looking for some advice on our tortoises shell. Going to open a topic in the proper forum though, just stopping in to say hi! Thanks all! This is the thread for my question if anyone is curious, Thanks...
