Hi guys, i am selling my Redfoot tortoise Speckles. He is around 3 years old. Comes with all accessories. £300 ono Doncaster UK. Ideally must be someone who has a car due to not being able to drive myself. Will send some pictures if interested

I have just been checking Speckles as she hasnt eaten today and my mum has noticed a small area of Shell rot. Does this explain why she hasnt eaten today? I am going down to the Vets shortly to get some Betadine and Chlorhexidine to treat it, but how long do i need to do the treatment for? I am...

Yesterday i bought a small box of mealworms for Speckles for her protein today. I was wondering what i should do with the mealworms i havent given her. Would i be best putting them in a soil bin for them to live in there? I know this isn't the food section, but i figured i might get a quicker...

since i got my redfoot speckles, i have noticed that her eyes water. i put it down to her being kept too dry and have been soaking her on a regular basis. i keep humidity at 70. i have noticed that her eyes seem to clear up after i have soaked her. i have had her nearly 2 weeks now and her eyes...

This is Speckles yesterday sat in her food bowl :D

This is Speckles new vivarium, which arrived Tuesday. It is 36" long and she seems very happy in it.

here are some pictures of Speckles. I was wondering whether anyone could use this pictures to identify whether she is a Cherryhead or a north east? She has lots of colour on her head that ends on her nose. I think she is a north east but i know Cherryheads have a lot of colour on their head so i...

I have just weighed Speckles for the first time. She weighs 101 grams and is just short of 3". Me and my mum have looked at the Jackson ratio and it says she is overweight, but the Jackson ratio is specifically for Med. torts which hibernate, so i'm not sure if this is correct for Speckles. Can...

When i am giving my redfoot Speckles vegetables, do any of them need softening up? And if they do how long for? I know this isn't the food and diet section, but i know not all tortoises have veg so i thought it would stop any confusion.

this is Speckle's temporary vivarium. I have ordered her a new bigger one and hopefully it will come in the next few days :)

I got a redfoot yesterday, and managed to get her to eat something today, but it was only a little bit of lettuce. I had put some Woodlice in there for her protein, but 2 died and the other 3 disappeared, so i am not sure whether she actually ate any. Is there any veg that i can give her that...

I know these are not very good, i just didn't want to stress her out. I will try and get some better ones when she is more settled :)

I have just bought a redfoot and i am using a vivarium. I have bought a CHE for it and am using a flourescent bulb that came with the vivarium. I am using forest bark for the substrate and moss in the hide. The vivarium is an old vivarium that my mum got when she got Shelby. We sterilised the...

Technically i do not own a tortoise, but my Mum Tracy Gould does, and she recommended i join this site. i help her to look after the tortoise, and if she is ever away or goes out and forgets to feed her, then i can feed her and look after her. Also, she has said that if the tortoise outlives her...
