This is great information and serendipitous for me. I just got my first tort (a redfoot called Noodles) and was about to start searching for a vet. I live in New Orleans, so this is perfect. Thank you for the rec--my search is over!
This thread is so helpful. My red footed tort gets here on Friday and I am so worried the habitat won't be right. I think I'm overthinking (and overspending!) but the information provided here has helped a lot. It's also reassuring to know that if something isn't quite right, the tort won't keel...
