Yesterday I noticed that my oldest RF has started to try and climb out of the outdoor enclosure. I found him/her yesterday upside down and I am afraid they will do this while I am away for extended hours. Any suggestions? The other five are content with staying inside
With crazy weather we are having in Central Texas, I didn't know what was going to happen. Dixie came out Monday and now today with temps in the mid 60's here is Jeter. Weather turning again next week. So, I will have to keep an eye on them to make sure they are deep enough. I might have to...
I live in central Texas and I had my EBTs all set into hibernate for the winter. Last week I thought everything was fine all had picked a spot and dug in when we got an unexpected high amount of cold rain that left 2 inches if standing water in their area and uncovered all of them. I have made...
While the weather is getting a bit iffy and it will soon be time to move them my Red Foots and Yellowfoot inside my mind is already in redesign mode for next spring. I am reconfiguring part if my backyard to allow for a 25X25 ft area for my bigger tortoises. Since I will have lots of cinder...
this my 3 yr Mia. She is the smallest of my RF from that group. She did have a growth spurt this year just don't know since non of the others have these lines.
Weather is still good here inTexas and I didn't want to keep him inside all day. I put this small enclosure together so he could get some outside time. Of course inside at night
I had two turtles shipped to me from the forbidden State of NJ. I don't think the person sending them knew the laws and I was not familiar either until I read some of the old threads about shipping.
Anyway, the person was turned down at UPS and FEDEX, so they Priority Expressed them through...
on the 8th I noticed an egg in Sissy's enclosure. As I have only had her for 1 1/2 and she is around 20 yrs...that is what the person whom I got her said, this is the first time she has layed and egg. Well further checking noticed 7 more carefully deposited into the ground by her House in the...
after several seizures through out the night, I took ABBA to the vet in that morning. She quietly passed on, Aug 4th. :( She was on of the best dogs I have ever owned and I will miss her. I received her ashes back yesterday and I was touched by how much care was put into her presentation back to...
I got a Columbian instead. I went to a Repticon Show in Belton this weekend and there he was. Alone with a 8 yr old male yellowfoot sharing a 20 gallon tank.
He is 12 years old and is about 11 inches. I don't know much about the Columbain subspecies of Redfoot, so if anyone wants to chime in...

Ok, I hope these photos show the suggested improvements on the rain gutter. I got the flex extension from Home Depot and dug a trench and sand filled hole and retaining area for run off. We have not had enought hard rain to test, but I believe it is going to work. I have my RF's in the day time...
