Orange Day Lily (Hemerocallis fulva)
OK to feed Redfoots this flower? It's gone crazy growing on our property. Flowers only last a day and are bright orange with some yellow.
My neighbors refer to them as "tiger lily" but I don't think that's right. Tiger Lily (Lilium lancifolium) are...
Finally built a new day enclosure for my 1 yr old redfoot
June -Sept is the only viable time I can get the little turd outside and I'll never leave him out overnight - too many raccoons, skunks, and cats in my neighbourhood.
First day out today as the temp was +85F and high humidity makes it...
Both my 18" T5's blew out yesterday - ON THE SAME DAY?
Unbelievable. What are the odds?
Usually wouldn't bother me as if I order a new one on Amazon I get it in 1-2 days.
But now? Amazon says May 24 - 27 window!
Hopefully my shelled friends will be OK in the dark for a week! LOL ???
My hatchling RF (well almost a year old) went from 5.3oz to 7.4oz in just 2 months
And gained 0.5" in length
Personally, I think that pretty good for 60 days
Just wondering what some of the RF experts here think?

DON'T BOTHER!!!
Unless you want to buy over-priced ball pythons avoid this disaster.
Thousands of ball pythons for sale but I could only find one (1!!!!!!!) tortoise. Hermann's hatchling and they wanted $1700!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was looking for an arboreal python or boa -...
So I'm offering everything to my RF but it seems to only be interested in zucchini. I've tried everything lately - dried and fresh flowers, lettuce/chard/chicory/etc, dandelions, bananas, strawberries, egg, chicken, pre-made pellets - everything under the sun but it picks through the pile and...
My RF hatchling has lately taken to nibbling the pothos. This morning it chowed down and about 3 broad leaves were chewed right off the vine. He feeds everyday on a variety of greens and veggies offered. This hatchling is eating waaaaaaaaaaaaaay more than I have researched. What a pig! LOL
So I got a red foot about a month ago. Table wasn't working because of low humidity. I researched all the PVC and custom enclosures out there. They were way too expensive! For the size I need the cheapest was $700 and the most expensive was $1200. So I decided to build my own. I think it worked...
So we've had Taco for about a week - it's about 3" in length right now - good size enclosure (4.5'x2.5') for a least a few years I think. Temps are constant day between 80-90 and night between 70-80 depending on where in the enclosure and humidity is on the lower end but is constant around...
Huge thanks to all on this wonderful forum and all it's excellent advice! We recently purchased a 3 month old redfoot and found the last week it doing nothing but hiding - not eating or anything. The tips of bathing daily and buying a infared thermometer were huge - since we have been soaking...
I know red-foots can eat mulberry plants but what about leaves from the "weeping mulberry tree"?
We have 3 of these tress on our property and can pick leaves whenever we want.

Just acquired a red foot tortoise after having Midland Yellow Painted turtles all my life but now sick of all the water and aquariums after my last midland died last month.
Looking forward to years with my red foot and on this forum
I will have...
