I really want to buy a new enclosure, instead of building my own! Im wanting at least 120 gallons.... 8×2×2.... with all the things included, lighting and temp and humidity.... please help! I got the money finally so lets hear what u guys have

For all fellow red foot owners we just switched our two year old redfoot into his new enclosure. We decided to go bioactive to help give him as natural of an environment as possible. He was also in a table and we were struggling to maintain temperature and humidity. It was a total labor of love...

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...

We have an approximately two year old red foot tortoise named Tofu. His new enclosure is currently in production with Toad Ranch and we think it’ll ship out around the end of the month. He has been living his best tortoise life in a table on our screened in porch for the summer but with...

I am getting a baby Red Foot Tortoise and I am kind of lost as to what types of uva and uvb I need. I also don't know if I need heating or if its different from a basking lamp. Currently, I have T8 UVB Fluorescent 10.0 , a 50 watts Basking Lamp for UVA and no heating. Do I still need to have...

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...
