Hi all! I have a roughly 2 1/2 year old redfoot that I am planning on upgrading to a bigger and hopefully long-term enclosure. I really love the look and longevity of the PVC enclosures but know the material itself is quite expensive. For those of you that have tried building one, is it worth...

Im looking at getting a tortoise within the next few years (or longer depending) as they're one of my favourite animals and I absolutely love redfoots they're my favourite species but I do live in canada so i would not be able to keep one outside. I would probably have an indoor enclosure and...

I have a juvenile redfoot tortoise that, although adorable, eats every single plant I put into his enclosure. He's super active and loves to explore, but his enclosure feels bare and I'm looking for some ideas! He has a warmer end with a uvb bulb and food dish, a humid hide in the middle, and a...

just wondering from your guys experience and loads of research what substrate would you guys say is best for a redfoot tortoise.?

I am currently in the process of upgrading my redfoots enclosure and, after much research, decided to go ahead and design/build it myself. I am hoping to make it into a vivarium but have seen many mixed reviews about which plants to use. So far I have purchased a tortoise seed mix to plant in...

I’m working on new enclosure for red foot yearling Lucy. I keep on looking up ideas and pictures, but now that I’m starting, all ideas are gone. What shall I make as ground cover? I’m gonna have part grass, some wood chips and rocks… Edible plants? Hawaii is limited, so I’d have to order.

I just finished renovating Taco's enclosure! I added a new hide (he outgrew his old one), new plants, and some more sphagnum moss. He seems to love it so far!

So I just brought a juvenile redfoot home yesterday, got him all set up in his new enclosure, and he seems to be doing ok-ish. I was wondering how to know if he's doing well or if his behaviors are something I should be concerned about? So far he mostly just sits and bobs his head in and out...

Hey everyone! I have a beautiful ~7 month old redfoot that I purchased from Southern Reptiles last year. He's already more than doubled in size and quadrupled in weight since October. He will occasionally explore his enclosure, but I think he needs more plants/coverage to feel fully comfortable...

Just got a red foot from Petsmart yesterday utterly unprepared. Currently in a 45 gallon plastic bin with Cypress mulch, a 100watt ceramic heat emitter and a 5.0 uvb bulb, I’ve got the heat emitter right next to the hide so she can bask under it and help keep the humidity up in the hide. I can’t...

Hello everyone! I’m Narji from Michigan, Excited to be here! So, I’ve been interested in getting a little tortoise for a while now, and I’ve been researching a ton on the topic (several things I learned from this forum before deciding to join), but even so, I’ve come across conflicting...

I want to share my quick and easy tortoise enclosure. My 21 year old son and his tortoise live with me. The tortoise was originally housed in a clear rubbermaid container. He is very used to watching TV (he likes Family Feud), watching us, watching the dog. He is our first tortoise and we find...

Hi! I was hoping to get some insight and care tips for Redfoots. I purchased one today and have him in a large glass aquarium with coco coir substrate, a large shallow water dish, a dark and humid hideout, and I feed him mustard/collard/turnip greens mixed with ZOOmed tropical tortoise pellets...

Hello all! I just received my RF hatchling in the mail yesterday, and wanted to share his enclosure setup. On the warmer side I have a UVB bulb (on a 12 hour timer) and a basking lamp. I am going to be switching out the basking lamp for a CHE today, as I've found the lamp dries out the tank...

Lil’ Chevy has Almost doubled her size in the 5 months I’ve had her and I knew it was time for a new enclosure. I spent the last few weekends building and I’m super happy with the way it came out. I had a perfect spot on the side of my house that sits below a canopy of passion fruit. This way...

My red foot tortoise is about 1 and a half years old! I am afraid that I am not giving him the correct care.
