Hi, everyone! I've got a baby redfoot and her head and "armpits" are turning white. The skin looks really dry in these areas and I don't know what to do. I bathed her this week and when she's wet those spots disappear, but once she's dried it looks very flaky and white. The bottom part of her...

Hello, I just bought another tortoise. I’m curious of the sex. I have a thought of what it could be, but I’m curious to know if I’m correct. Could anyone confirm? It is a red foot. Thank you!

We got our first redfoot last spring. Fortunately we can provide a outdoor home for him in the summer but now the winter seems to be a little problem. He has a nice DIY home, big and open from the top but he has a strong will about his freedom of walking. He has found every way to escape and...

Hi! I'm Brandon.I'm 27 and from eastern Ohio. I have a leopard tortoise named Freyja and a redfoot named Spock. I love reptiles in general and have owned quite a few. I hope to get to know some of you and learn what I can from all of you :)

My redfoot has had this white spot under his left eye for around 2 weeks. There has been no change to his behavior, and it doesn't seem to bother him, not even if I touch it. It's not shedding, weeping, swelling. Today I noticed a small bit of it starting underneath his right eye. I'm not sure...

I discovered shell rot on my guy yesterday; there was a lot of the white substance I’ve read about and I immediately went out to get an antiseptic cleaner, providine iodine, and antifungal ointment. Today the white stuff seems to be gone but this black spot remains - is this serious? It’s not...

Hello I'm a newish tortoise owner I have a redfoot called twig I got him in March at the start of 2019 and I need some help lately I've been noticing the front of his shell looks like its scratched or worn down can somebody help me and tell me if it's normal or bad

I have had Kona for a month now and have been noticing that there is something on her marginal scutes. She doesn’t have it anywhere else on her shell. The humidity in her enclosure is around 80-95% at all times. The temperature is at around 80-85 degrees F. Do you think this could be shell rot?

I need help sexing these tortoises.....I took quick pics, but was unable to get tail pics yet. Any guesses based on these pics? Thanks in advance. A is a yellowfoot, all the rest are redfoots. Also....D's tail seems to have a bend in it. Is that okay....or is it a problem of some sort?

I have decided to start a thread about Kona, my eight month old redfoot tortoise that I got at a reptile expo. I take her out everyday because obviously she loves eating all the clovers :) I will update you as often as possible, enjoy!

Hi! I have a 3 year old Female Redfoot (Lucy) lately she hasnt been eating much? I can't get her to eat many greens, and she seems to only want to eat banana, some chicken (once a week) and maybe a grape or two. She has a varied diet and eats basically what I eat (I am a health nut/ I go out of...

I currently have two redfoots. One is a 7" female and one is a 10" male. I am building two new outdoor enclosures for them, and have a couple of questions. My plan is to build low walls using cinder blocks capped with wood planks (approx 18" high total) and each enclosure will be...
