I can guess 2 to 3 for little foot.. but that is only i think the age of mine which is 3, and he is about that size maybe a little bigger. (probably bigger) its just hard to tell the scale of them even with the calculator there. littlefoot 2 middle 4 last one 5 those are my random guesses...

So i needed more Mazuri.. I went to their website and saw they also sell earthworms. I was like, Yea boy, my tort loves to slay some worms! Only purchase option was 50lb of earthworms for $16.00.. Not a bad deal I guess, if, i dunno, you had a place for 50lb of earthworms? lol Looking for...

From my understanding the white balls are not fertilizer, but perlite, used to help absorb water and keep the soil moist.

I am going to do one of two things, get another spool of that fence and place it alternating the squares to make it to where he can't, and or eventually upgrade to a solid barrier. The squares looked much smaller in the store and as soon as I put him in it he vowed to get through those blasted...

First outdoor tort area. No plantings yet, but it's a draft. First mistake .... Grass is always greener on the other side, if you can see it

So I have been looking into natural South American flora to set up our outdoor habitat. Aside from the fact that he doesnt know he is from South America nor what he is missing, I think it would be a fun project and maybe somehow bring out the inner lion in him (or me)! lol So I have done...

Just for clarification, I do clean my yard and immediately remove him from the dogs mess if he finds some, but he can find the littlest pieces, i get closer to see what hes messing with and dang-it... every time! Never thought I would have to defend the dog dung from consumption lol So, some are...

So the weather in El Paso TX is getting warm enough in the sunny areas to be 80'ish... So I bring my yearling... +4months out in the sun... first reaction is... OMG!! RUN to the shade!!! at a turtle pace. So the question arises... young redfoots dont like sun, so obviously dont want UVB? Id...

Thanks for the help!

Mine is the ZooMed cable that is water resistant. and I have it taped to the bottom of the tank, on the outside. I thought it was water-PROOF when I got it... Just as when I also ordered the "rheostat temperature controller" that is just a manual knob controller thinking that it had the...

Thanks!!! took hours upon hours at lowes and walmart trying to find plants that he could eat as much as he wanted, and I only came home with 2 and some grass seeds, lol. I have much more in mind once the garden centers restock for the spring, just did not expect him to eat as much as he did on...

That was my plan as well, but i ended up scaring myself with the "DO NOT DO THIS...." warnings.

Here ya go!

Sorry I have been spamming the board with questions, but I just changed everything up and things have not gone according to plan and I dont want to have a bunch of unrelated questions in one post... So I got a heated cable with the intent to place it in the dirt of my red-footeds vivarium...

Hopefully I am posting in the right place. Sorry if not. I have an infrared heat light over a vivarium glass tank. I have a glass cover to help with humidity for a red-footed.(going to build a wooden hood to solve this next week on payday) Now I know glass can block infrared by watching a...

Have a sweet vivarium setup for my redfoot (his brand new indoor home while its still cool outside) and he/she is going to town on its edible arrangements. At some point is he gunna relax on it, or am i gunna have to try and regulate what he is eating? and as he is running a muck, is he still...

Thank everyone for the responses, and for clearing up the redfoot/cherry head relation. I was thinking vaguely along those same lines, but I am glad you cleared it up for me. I am in no hurry and want to make sure I get a good tort and have the setup ready before he gets here, unlike my last...

I currently have a yearling and have been shopping around for a partner in crime for my little tort friend. If I got a hatchling would there be danger involved or bullying for the little one? or the other way if I got a 5-6" would my 4" get bullied? I am assuming that a cherry head with a...

yeah I had saw that the other day on your sig... they're obviously related! ;) So far, about 2 hours in, it is keeping his tub 80 degrees on low with no heat source. I am thinking i can replace his heat light with a incandecent bulb and bump it up a few degrees.. This has worked out much better...

I also ordered a red-footed tortoise from them. Excellent shipping, good health, tort ate that day. I made a mistake when I ordered and paypal sent them the wrong shipping address. (I had recently moved and didnt even think about it. thank god I double checked the next day.) I called them...
