Hey everyone! It has been a while since I have last posted about Littlefoot. He/she is outside now 24/7 and is getting closer to 2 years of age. Is it possible to determine a sex yet? Here are a few pictures. Me and my wife think Female. She currently weighs about 740 grams.

Hello, Yesterday my "daylight" bulb went out after only about 2 months. I just have a uvb light in there now. Everyone says redfoots don't like bright light anyways. Should I even replace it? Also the uvb light is about 18" from the substrate. That's probably too far away huh? If i got a new...

Hey everyone, Me and my buddy want to put in a waterfall that will empty into the water dish. But we obviously want to use some kind of paint or sealant for the fake rocks. Any idea what is safe to use for the water to be running down it and not be toxic to drink? I may still use real stones...

Hey everyone! A friend and I have been working oney new enclosure. I will be finishing it up in a week or so and am not really sure what to do for lighting. I currently have a small uv bulb from lowes and it gives off a purple glow. Its not very big either. Everyone says redfoots dont like...

Hey everyone, I will be building a 6'x3' enclosure next week. I plan to make it like a rainforest inside. I will be putting branches along the perimeter to mimic trees with fake leaves and vines to start until i can start growing safe to eat plants. I will also have a water fall that flows into...

Hey everyone! Yesterday I acquired my new baby redfoot. He is about 6 months old from what I've been told. Littlefoot weighs in at 75g's currently. I'm looking forward to raising this little guy. I'm using my old enclosure from my Leo and will be upgrading to a bigger setup in a couple weeks.

Hey everyone! In about 3 weeks I will be getting an approx 6 month old redfoot from a local. I was just curious about a few things that differ from my Leo that passed away. For diet I see they are able to eat some protein. So I assume maybe some small cooked shrimp or boiled eggs once in a...

Hey everyone! I am looking to get a redfoot tort in a couple months. I have been looking around and found this place locally. The owner stated he incubates eggs and a lady named Christine comes and takes them for a while to start them. So I'm curious if this lady is a member! The conditions...

I am looking for a thermostat with a probe to control my temps. Does anyone have a suggestion for a budget friend option? I was at home depot and couldn't find anything.

Just a quick question. Does anyone think having both is overkill? I had the T-8 light hanging over some plants I was trying to grow but they just didn't thrive. I figured it couldn't hurt to have that in there for extra uvb. Am I wrong?

Hello everyone, I'm just wondering if there is any kind of paste or something that would be used to help jump start a tort? Packed with lots of vitamins and things? I've done just about everything and still not much has happened. Just curious if something is out there? Not mazuri. Already have...

Happy 4th everyone! My vet (nota a reptile specialist) gave me panacure as a precaution sense the stool sample came up negative for worms and parasites but appeared to have small round things that looked like eggs in his stool. I gave the first dosage two days ago. On romaine sense I can't get...

Hey everyone, I will be moving out of my apartment in two weeks finally. So I was thinking of making a small 4x4 enclosure. I know he's still under 40g but I'm in florida si I figured he could be outside a few hours a day out there. I would make it safe from animals and grow tetsudo mix in...

Hey everyone, So my tort just hasn't really been growing much sense I've had him. I picked Tort up on 3/22/15 and was told he was born around Christmas. He has a small black piece on his belly and had the little egg cracking spike on his nose as well. Not sure if the December date is...

Hello everyone! I would like to introduce my young Leo - Tortallis. I have had him/her sense 03/22/15. I aquired him from the yearly Repticon here in Tampa, FL. I've wanted a tortoise for a while now and decided to go ahead and get one. So I suppose first I'll go through a little history on...

Hello I have a young Leopard and it has been having some eye issues for a few days now. I first noticed he was keeping his left eye shut a lot. I'm at work and my fiancé sent me two photos and said he wasn't opening his eye's this morning. Does this look like an infection? I recently removed...
