Hey folks, I have a 2.5 year old cherry headed marbling Redfoot I'm looking to rehome. I believe that it is a she, but please correct me if I am wrong. She's been raised in high humidity, and received constant soaks, vitamins, supplements and a proper diet. She was started out dry before I got...

Just wanted to show you guys my summer project that I just wrapped up as summer came to an end. Luckily living in Florida gives me an extended date on cold weather, but this was a great project, a ton of fun to do with my family, and I just wanted to show you all the aftermath of four months of...

So my greenhouses are currently on my small patio. I was going to safely proof all my electrical cords, but my outside electrical socket isn't strong enough to support all the lighting and heating elements. I know a few members use solar panels, and it would be a huge favor if someone could...

I cannot find the thread for the life of me, but I remembered the fence/2x4 outdoor framing for an enclosure. I headed to Lowe's and bought enough wood to make my very own hand puppet theater based on their crafty design work! My step son turns four in a few weeks so I just wanted to say thanks...

Not only did I learn the proper way to care for my first tortoise, but I've also been able to provide this home for her. (She's unsexed but I like to think she) Without everyone's help on here, I would be clueless, Bowser would still be very small, even though she's still small now she's...

I'd like to introduce Ragdoll, my newest Redfoot baby. The store had the baby posted as a Colombian Redfoot, but I'd like more opinions on what some of the experts think :)

Size: 8ft by 3ft for main section. 6ft by 2.5 for smaller section. Materials: Pressure treated 1/2in plywood, Outdoor weather proof paint, one piece of 2x4, two terra cotta saucers, hibiscus, organic sod, succulents, marigolds, daisies, (reused) river rock, three hinges, two handles, bricks (20...

I decided to move my guys enclosure and spruce it up while I redo my sulcatas enclosures as well. My two 10 month old redfoots reside in this 4 1/2ft by 2 1/2ft enclosure. In about a year I'll extended Batman and Robin's enclosure, but they are thriving and smooth in the Florida summer. :)

I was about to purchase a reptitherm heating pad, but then decided to double check before I bought it and look into radiant heat panels. I live in Florida, and just want to be prepared for the cold snaps and a few hours on the nights that dip below 70. I'm not sure which product would be the...

My mother in law complained a lot about moles when she lived in our house. When she gave it to us, we saw no evidence of such creatures living in our yard. Today when I got home from school I saw what I believe to be mole trails in my largest enclosure, but I'm not 100% positive. Could anyone...

My sulcata is currently 3.5lbs. She lives in an enclosure with a secured lid to keep hawks and predators out. Does anyone know a general weight that hawks are no longer a threat? I was told by a friend who keeps tortoises that once his reach ten pounds he no longer worries about birds of prey...

So I finally decided to give up my cigarettes AGAIN, this time for the last time. My doctor was pretty persuasive and to be honest I'm over it. Called the tobacco free Florida hotline, set up with a counselor, made a plan. I'm feeling pretty confident this time around, but wondering if anyone...

Figured I could upload the finished project I had been working on for a while. Bowser lives in this enclosure, and it will be inherited by Koopa, Kamek and Peach when we finish building her next enclosure (always building..:D). During the day, the enclosure gets part shade from a large oak...

Length 4' width 22" height 15" This will be used for my two cherry headed hatchlings. One is currently in quarantine, but the other moved in last night, giving up the nursery tote to the new comer (after a very vigorous scrub down of course). Temperature are holding steady. Basking 92, warm...

Hey! First day of the expo was great, as well as the seminar from Dr. Elliot! Here's some of the pictures: And here is the Cherry Headed Redfoot we ended up falling in love with (even got it at an amazing price!) His name is Batman. My stepson named him. It's his favorite lol.

So my current table that my closed chamber sits upon is disintegrating before my eyes since it was $20 and from ikea (good ol' particle board) and it doesn't stand the weight or humidity at all. I keep my chambers out in my screened in patio since its easier for me to keep my temperatures...

So I was expecting my little one on Friday but s/he came a few days early. Luckily I had all my supplies ready. The only thing I didn't get yet was a vivarium but I'm on my way to get that to convert tonight. For a few days though the tort will be living in a 40 gallon tote. Here's how I set it...

I went into the reptile shop today to buy a new bulb, and ended up reserving a Cherry Headed Redfoot tortoise as well. The owner lets me know about his tortoises that are expected in a few days early in case I'm interested, and even let me have my pick of the group (after he picked out his of...
