redfoot

A little breakfast :)

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.

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...

Lego Enjoying the Florida sunshine and hibiscus (his/her favorites) Taking the Sun in the morning and afternoon. Found it carrying the leaves to that spot and having a snack while sunbathing. This animal is one surprise after another. Love watching the daily happy life.

So I recently took in my fiends 2 year old RF, and I noticed a weird bloody spot on top of his head. Does anyone know what this is and the cause of it? And if it a really big issue, should I be taking him to the vet? If it comes to that could y'all please recommend some vets in the area (Houston...

So I recently took over a friend's 2 year old redfoot, and I'm concerned about the shape of his scutes. He looks a little bumpy. Does this look like the beginning signs of pyramiding? I can answer any questions about previous diet and conditions. If it is, what changes do I need to be making?

I normally use Inaturalist to learn about local species and distributions and habitats of species across the world and came across some neat wild redfoots (likely cherryheads? from south-eastern brazil) https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/194988523...

Just wanted to show off my most adorable son/daughter: Ruby-Dave! The name really is Ruby, but it was Dave to begin with and has been a hard transition 😅 so he has quite the long government name. I’ll have to print it in a CVS receipt to fit it! Much more childproofing has been done since these...

One month and a half since join the family 😊

Hello there! In this thread I’m going to go over an example of an appropriate indoor red foot/cherryhead enclosure. As much as it’s encouraged to have tortoises in a safe outdoor enclosure(especially the size these guys get!) I understand being from the uk myself, that some climate’s make it...

Hello there! In this thread I’m going to include some information on an effective example of a starter enclosure for a red foot/cherry head😊 Care advice for these guys is painfully behind, fb pages, YouTube, pet stores, they’re all repeating the same outdated advice, this forum is made of...

Noticed that my tortoise’s beak suddenly clicks while eating. Any idea what’s causing it? Here’s a video - https://streamable.com/zkz51o The pile of mazuri is my attempt to give him his medicine (vet gave him something for worms) but he just took a few bites and turned away. Any tips on that...

I’m still working on the chicken wire top and heated hide but everything is in place for her to roam around when we’re home and watching the live camera. So far the size is a 12ft x 12ft and 14in high. I plan on extending one side another 12ft so she can get more sun and roam a bit more...

Baby RF

We are moving from New York to San Francisco and need to transport our 3 year old Redfoot Tortoise. He is about 8 inches long. Does anyone in the community have tips or advise on shipping? Our current plan is to order materials from reptile2you...

Hello! I’ve been looking into getting a red foot tortoise, I am located in south florida and from my research figured this would be the best species for the area. I have already found a local breeder and plan to pick one up once we have everything ready but I’m finding so much conflicting...

My redfoot (or cherryhead, idk for sure), keeps nibbling on his reptibark. He has food in there (weeds, fruits, flowers, greens) and yet he still nibbles on it from time to time. Has anyone’s tortoise done this? Is it safe? Here are photos of my Kola. In case anyone can help me identify if he’s...
