redfoot

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. I am looking to upgrade his enclosure but because of the pandemic I’m not able to go out and purchase things. Could someone tell me what to purchase, where to purchase things - preferably...

I brought 3 redfoot eggs in for incubation back in early April; all three hatched the second week of August. Today I went into the outdoor enclosure and this little one was just sitting there! I must have missed an egg. Pics of #4 and the three indoor-incubated hatchlings below.

Hi all first time posting my Redfoot Beary has been showing signs of what I suspect is shell rot my vet has told me that it could of been scarring but this is spreading and I’m worried for my tort. We have another visit this week but I’d like to hear from y’all as well. the enclosure is never...

Hello everyone, my redfoot hatchling is about 4 months old now and is doing great. Chevy has been eating a varied diet, gets soakings once a day, has constant+80% humidity, and is very active. The only thing that has me somewhat concerned is the new growth on her shell is slightly raised. If...

Hello everyone and thank you for checking out my post. Yesterday I noticed a patch of what looked like skin or something peeling off under the chin/neck area of my little tort and wanted to double check it wasn’t something wrong. Thank you In advance!

Hello Forum, I am a proud owner of a thriving ~4 month old redfoot named Chevy. Chevy was off to a rough start due to some negligence from the breeder I got her from but with help from the forum Chevy has been growing and is extremely healthy. Her enclosure is set up with everything she needs...

Hi I was wondering if his shell looked ok? I guess it would be his scutes lines to be more specifically. I noticed it’s starting to lighten up I can’t tell if it’s marbling or something possibly more serious. I took a photos one with glass and one without. thanks in advance.

Hey everyone! I have young red foot named Morty that is approximately 2-3 inches and is a few months old. I have the little guy living in 3x5x16 tortoise table that my wife and I built. I want to add a plant or two to help maintain humidity and to make it more enjoyable for Morty. The tortoise...

A couple months ago I encountered this site while searching to see what I could use to waterproof the palace I intended to build for our female redfoot, Ka-Ata-Killa (which is apparently Incan for moon goddess?). I'm so glad I found this place! Our redfoot is of an unknown age, purchased from...

Hey guys! My friend showed me these pics of her Redfoot and noticed some discolored patches on his skin. It looks unusual because it’s raised. I asked her to try to scrub it gently with a soft bristle brush to see if it came off and it doesn’t. I know fungal issues are usually white or grey...

Hello! I'm an experienced mammal owner, but have never cared for reptiles before. I got a redfoot hatchling (about 3 inches) last week and set up a nice 'rainforesty' enclosure (pictured) and hes got a nice little outdoor enclosure too! My problem living in Denver is how dry it is, usually...

Hello friends, my female redfoot laid eggs on the ground without burying them, and was doing some "automatic" digging movements near them but not really digging, then she left to take a bath at the "pool", she lives with a male redfoot and they are not fighting. She never did this before...

Hi everyone! This will be short because I am exhausted will come back and share better details later. I stayed up all night and morning getting the enclosure ready and monitoring temps/humidity. Wolf and Bear are here and they are so beautiful, loved them so much already. I was a little...

So long story short, I'm being told this is a real Brazilian red foot (aka the Cherry head). However based on the coloring of the plastron it really makes me think that it's the Northern red foot, however I'm being assured that this is truly a Brazilian red foot. Are there any sure fire signs...
