I am about to get 2 baby red foot tortoises, any tips and advice for them? And what is a good enclosure?

There is an opinion that UVA is essential for tortoises, because it enchances their color vision, affects feeding behaviour and overall activity. The typical lightning setup for temperate and desert species includes three components: 1. Incandescent bulb: visible light and some UVA, on for...

My juvenile cherry head has very dry skin on his front legs. Here are the enclosure specs: 3x4 feet, closed top, 3 CHE’s set at 85F, overall humidity 75-89% depending on how close to the heat lamps, T5 UV light 10hrs daily, cypress mulch substrate. He gets daily soaks in lukewarm water also. I...

Heya! First post here as a lurker. I have a 3 year old redfoot ( I’m the 3rd owner of her! Had her for only 3 months now.) for which I am building an indoor enclosure! I have planned it out so that she will have a two level- enclosure with a total walking space of around 34 sqft. My question for...

hi, i’m a new tortoise owner and i saw these little white spots on the middle of my redfoot’s plastron. is this some sort of fungus or shell rot?

My Sister -in-law has a Redfoot Tortoise. Who is now living with us. Two years ago Tortie experienced a crack in his shell. We patched it with Duc-tape and it healed. A few days ago she said she wanted us to look at Tortie because she thought she saw another crack. I am up loading a couple...

Aloha forum, I have a question about my Redfoots recent bowel movements. My redfoot, Chevy, is almost 4 years old and has historically always had the same healthy looking poops that I would describe as firm, solid and greenish brown looking. This week her poops have been slightly more runny but...

What the hell is going on here??? My tortoise escaped his outdoor enclosure on a day I put him outside when it was 76 degrees in Washington state. We couldn’t find him anywhere and continued to look for days on end. Finally we found him, he was missing from October 10-October 22. Temperatures...

Hi! I am new Red foot owner and was wondering if someone with more experience could look over my current setup and give me pointers. I just got him a week ago. I've been browsing the forums and have been trying to update it where I can but am nervous there is still so much more I could do. I...

It's made of the IKEA outdoor wardrobe, so there's a chance ))

Unfortunately, photo doesn't allow that great crusting sounds....

Hello, I am really new to this forum! We got a baby Redfoot that is almost 2 months old. She (or he?) had soft but still well formed poops when we got her and about a week ago she started having diarrhea everyday that is really runny and brown. I feed her a variety of collard greens, turnip...

My Redfoot, Fuego, is starting to get bigger and has unfortunately gotten some pyramiding a few months ago. He’s getting too big for his hide now. I’ve placed the hide some slate stones for him to give some extra space but he loves to climb on it for basking! I love that he climbs but it’s...

I'm planning on adding a small grow light for some hanging plants to provide shade and a UVB light into my 4ftx2ft redfoot enclosure. I don't really have time to give my redfoot outdoor baths any more so I want to ensure it gets enough UVB. What length should I use for the lights? I currently...
