Wow this is huge! Mine since april 2021 too and she is near 400g. I try to get her a constant grow but not too much. Maybe this is not enough?

Will it grow again?

I add water in the corner too. I have put 3 flowers pot in it. 1 with fake plant (she love sometime to stay under it) and 2 pot with watered sphagnum moss. That way im sure that she will not eat it. 1 of the heater is covering the water bowl By sealing it more it will maybe help to restrain...

Yes the housing :( From 36inch X 18inch to 8feet X 2feet. (2x PVC Zen habitats together) Its much harder now to heat for sure during winter so I added 1x100W and 1x 60W but the overall humidity dropped to 60-65% (taken 5inch from the ground). It was at 70-80% before. I will need to work on...

Hi! My red foot is nearly 2 years old now. I noticed since some months that she seem to have like higher scuse. The middle between scute is lower than the scute itself. The scuse itself is flat. I think that pyramiding is when the middle(orange) is leveling more than the edge of the...

Just found mine on his back today after work(more on the side scute). Im pretty sure that she was there for 6-8h...poop everywhere. It was in his water bowl but it looked like she throw some substrate in it before so there was no more water. She was looking pretty fine...no weird sound...

From my 1 year experience, I think it all depend on their personnality but it can be done by having them confidence in you. I pass 2 hours per day with her...bath,food and little bit of exercice with different stuff. She like to push thing and climb so I make like a play space for her. She also...

Hello all! Here is Rocky...a beautiful Red foot tortoise. I got it in may 2021. He live in Quebec City. The first thing I started doing with him is giving him confidence. I think confidence is really important in human relation and its the same thing for reptiles. I took 1 hour each day...

My Red foot tortoise really love to cuddle each morning after her exercice (walk with obstacles, different location each time) Is it a normal behavior or she just adopted me very well? I got her since may. Thanks!

Hello, I am not sure about this one... I saw skin starting to peel above his left eye 3 days ago...this morning I see the same thing above his right eye at the same spot. Is it peeling or injury? What to do to threat it? Thanks!
