redfoot

The humidifier machine for my little redfoot suddenly broke and it took me a couple months to get a new one. I would guess the issue is his skin got too dry and he scratched it somehow? I've been soaking him more frequently since I noticed it but I am concerned. I hope it is not too serious or...

hey yall a couple days a go I noticed my tortoise Rojita started wheezing and yawning often (yawning a few times a day). Energy and appetite seem normal, she does have a few days here and there where she’s not as active but I assume it’s the winter. No mucus that I’ve noticed. Her eyes are moist...

It’s disappointing that I have to make this post, as I’d hope that life circumstances would never come to this…. I have been the owner of a redfoot tortoise for almost 9 years now, however I have recently graduated college. It is looking like I will likely be moving and traveling for my job, and...

Hey!! So I have 4 year old and I was wondering what are some safe ways to get him involved with the baby tortoise care and interact with them?

Hi! I have a 2 year old redfoot who suddenly doesn’t go out much and has become really picky with his food. Nothing changed husbandry-wise. Temperatures are as recommended here as well. I’ve been feeding the recommended fruits and weeds and veggies with occasional mazuri. But lately he only...

About a month ago I moved back into my apartment and took my 11 yr old redfoot with me. I started noticing some sneezes and he stopped eating (super weird for him my guy is a piggy). I boosted his temps and he started eating again but still has sneezes/coughs/loud breathing. My mom...

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

I’ve got forest floor dirt at the base that is covered with reptile forest bark as I’ve found that keeping the dirt at the bottom wet ans the top dry is ideal, however is there any tips on how to keep the bottom layer moist without having to move the bark out the way as this is disruptive and...

I recently got my 2 year old redfoot from a friend and he's been doing pretty well, upgrades to his enclosure and necessary changes. I've had him about a month now and he suddenly started pacing along one end of his enclosure and climbing at the corners, so much that there's like an indent of...

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 .

Red-foot eating a bug…

when I first got my redfoot she was as colourful as anything but now her shells colour has reduced. Could this be because of too much UVB (12 hours daily for last 4 years) and also using basking lamp as I have learnt that it’s not good for their shells as they aren’t basking tortoises so I’ve...

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...
