    What's this slime?

    I only added water for the picture, and for their normal baths, they get about 2 inches or so. [hr] We're in Hawaii, so I don't worry about humidity. But for now, that's what we're doing, keeping an eye on her. Thanks.

    What's this slime?

    I was wondering the same thing as the slugs do come out at night. I hope that's all it is. [hr] That was my speculation as the day wore on. I am now starting to feel relieved. [hr] Low 70s and in a hole.

    What's this slime?

    I hope it's just saliva, but that leaf was pretty stuck. Yes, they do have shade.

    What's this slime?

    What's this slime?

    I have 2 redfoots. We've had them for about seven months. They come in at night and stay outside in their pen during the day since it is mid '80s year round here. Last week, my daughter noticed bubbling around the mouth area. Hadn't seen it again. Then this morning (they spent the night...

    Overwhelmed and Confused!!!

    "Protein, I personally would not offer cat food of any kind (just my own issue) You can offer chicken, however, I would broil it plain and clean and let it cool and offer a bit--but not too often, perhaps once every other week or so....you can offer hard boiled eggs (with out the shell)" How...

    Overwhelmed and Confused!!!

    Before taking in our redfoots, I did a lot of researching regarding their diets. We've had them for a couple weeks, and all the info I've read and collected, I am "overwhelmed and confused." Different sites have said collard greens are okay. Then I read on one of the threads in this forum...

    I might be late, but I lined the bottom of our chameleon cage with roofing felt to protect from soil and water.

    Outdoor enclosure question- rain?

    I know this post was written a little while ago, but thought I'd put my two cents in. I used my chinchillas old enclosure for our jackson chameleon. It has legs and I added plywood walls at the bottom to hold soil and plants. The floor, I bored holes about an inch wide. So that the plywood...

    Yoty's new outdoor enclosure!

    I'm just wondering how deep the substrate is and if there is drainage for the plants. I'm new at tortoises, but I do know a little about plants. Lavender especially needs to dry out, hibiscus likes humidity, and both require good drainage. Wouldn't want you to keep buying plants. I love the...

    Finally got a couple redfoots!

    Thank you! They're excited. I don't know if you measure by the shell or up to the head. The shell comes to about four inches and up to the head (when not straightened out) comes to about five inches.[hr] Thank you![hr] LOL! That's cute! I think ours could care less about us at...

    Wild mushrooms

    Before my kids and I started working on the torts enclosure this morning, we found some mushrooms. I'm hoping they won't grow in there again, but I always find them. Does anyone know if these are poisonous?

    Finally got a couple redfoots!

    Just got our redfoots. My children named them Princess Penelope and Fluffy. Unfortunately, no one at Petco knows how old they are. I'm guessing a year. Can't tell by their size. Anyhoo, how often should they be fed in the day? This was their first morning here, and I fed them some...

    red foots

    Hey there! Just wondering what kind of weeds (are those weeds?) you got growing there. Looks like the stuff that grows on my lawn and I'm wondering if I should pull some of that stuff out of my lawn and start a patch in my torts' pen.

    Aloha!

    Hey, Fordisland! I take it you're on Oahu? Thanks for all the info. I just bought a hibiscus and was thinking about propagating when it gets bigger. My next door neighbors has hibiscus surrounding their property and they don't spray. During my googling regarding lilikois, I found this...

    Aloha!

    Hi there! Just joined the site a little while ago. I've decided on purchasing a couple redfoots next month. In the meantime, my children and I are getting their pen ready. I'm going with the redfoots as our climate is best suited for them as well as what already grows here. I do...
