When I first moved back to KY in 2016, I had a very primitive indoors set-up for my pair of rapidly growing redfoots. I spent that first winter and the subsequent spring and summer building a huge insulated box in my garage for them. Had to take a break after that for other house projects, but...
Hey all, finally getting around to finishing my outdoor RedFoot enclosure now that it's warming up. I'm going to use chain-link fencing in conjunction with a stone wall in order to make this thing predator proof. I have an opportunity to acquire some vinyl-coated green chain link fence fabric...
Hi there, I'm getting ready to build an outdoor habitat for my pair of adult Redfoots. In order to make it predator proof, I was going to use chain link fence on the tops and sides.
I was wondering if anyone has had any issues with Torts injuring themselves on chain link fencing...
Hey All,
I've already had some smaller posts about certain aspects of this project, but I started work on this large enclosure about 15 months ago, and wanted to share what I came up with.

I currently use CHEs, and use them on a thermostat, but am concerned about the increased long term potential for fires or other hazards. I have been doing some reading on the radiant heat panels, such as those made by Reptile Basics and other herp brands. Has anyone made the switch to radiant...
Hi all,

Hey I'm looking to build a new large indoor enclosure for my Redfoots soon. I plan on making an insulated box with about 60 square feet of walking space for my 2 Redfoots. I have seen people's plans to seal in the moisture--and keep the wood from being attacked by the moisture--with everything...
Hi all, I'm looking for a yearling or juvenile Cherry Head in good health. I am willing to pay a reasonable fee. I live in south Florida and have a couple other torts as well, so I am well-acquainted to their care. Message me if you have something to offer or any information. Thanks.
