redfoot baby

First time Tortoise Owner here, I got this baby a few months ago and it's now about 7 months old now. I've been really cautious and wanting Rocky to get used to their environment and not freak them out but clearly I should've been less cautious and more concerned cause it seems Rocky has shell...

Thank you @Markw84 for the lovely Enclosure! Thank you @Littleredfootbigredheart , @Alex and the Redfoot , and others I forgot to mention for all the help and information before I got my little one! I'm sure I will have lots of more questions in the future, so expect to see my posts still haha...

Hello everyone! It's been awhile since I've posted something on here, as I've been collecting everything I can to make sure my soon to be new baby redfoot is as happy as can be. I am happy to say that I have received my Enclosure from @Markw84 and am more than satisfied with how it turned out. I...

Hey all so this is how my indoor closed chamber enclosure turned out. Please give me feed back!

Hello, tortoiseforum! I'm a newbie here and was looking for some guidance on how to properly care for my red-foot hatchling, Bubba (named after Leatherface). On October 26th (9 days ago), I visited a local expo with intentions of picking up a few arthropods if I could find them. Instead, I...

I am getting two baby redfoots soon and I would like to know if I put a tarp over my open enclosure will it keep the enclosure humid enough? Also could I keep it humid by creating a hide using a smaller plastic storage tub on one side of the open enclosure? These are two ideas I have so far as I...

Enjoying Sun after the storm. Walking a lot too😉, eating and pooping.

Today Lego, hours before Milton hurricane hits Florida was exploring a patch of orchids we keep in our screened area in the backyard. His curious nature and the colorful flowers create a relaxing scene of discovery in the garden just before the storm.

We feel grateful for this humidity in Florida. Expected heavy rain in our area the next week, praying for the areas will be affected for this new hurricane. Noticing new growth on our baby!!!Do you see it? How is the weather on your location? How affect the way you take care of your tort...

I am pasting my post from Reddit in hopes of reaching more people. I hope that’s okay. I mention a video below; it’s on the Reddit Post. Hello! I received my baby tortoise with some shell rot so I had it looked at by family in the Veterinary Field (Exotic Vet and an ER Vet Tech) and am treating...

Lego say hello!!! Wishing all happy Sunday! Daily routine of soak, poop, walk, eat….. repeat….😉

Hello everyone! My wife and I recently acquired a red foot tortoise that is about 4-5 weeks old. We are unsure how to care for him as many people here let them grow up outside. We are debating whether to create an indoor enclosure for him, but we do have a yard where we could also create an...

Hey guys , it’s a tortoise photo I found online posted by a nearby breeder . Is it shell rot or normal in redfoots(the white shell ) . Because in all the photos and videos of redfoots i have seen , never seen anything like this .

Hello! I just want to know from all of you, what do you think about Lego”s provenance region. I see a red face, don't know much about head shapes. Regular carapace and yellow plastron. Is that typical for specific region? I feel is more like a hybrid, but want to know from all what do you...

The growing process is from the junction of the scutes, or from the inside and add growth the ring? Anyone can share how this occurs? Detail of Lego’s carapace.
