You should have heard the line of crap they told me [emoji35] it’s full grown and definitely a female they said. Blahhh blah blahhh.. they were asking $250... what do you think I should offer???

I don’t even know why I’m asking that because I truly do not have a place set up... and I’d have to kiss hubbys butt for a while for this one... [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]
I tried to read up on our red foot care sheets but I’m not sure about housing a red foot ...[emoji51][emoji51][emoji51]

Here’s what I found on LLL Reptile as a reference.

Here's where we summon @ZEROPILOT... unless someone else has already beaten me to it... ;)
It's not full grown. But might be a female.
Has nice colors and is smooth.
$250 would not be unreasonable.
IMO females would command a slightly higher price.

Good reference. I bet they would take $200... could it live outside with a heated night box like my Sullys? It would give me a great excuse to landscape another area... plus for that size tortoise, it would be pretty easy.. I just can’t put anything else in the house...

In my opinion yes.
You’re fine all year except winter, right?
If the heated house is big enough, you could do it.
Mine come out for 1-2 hrs a day when it’s chilly but stay in heated house on cold rainy days.
I have one that comes and goes as he pleases and my female never ever goes back in on her own.
I love my mini oil filled heater. There could be better heating out there though.

$200 sounds fair. Trust me they want to fill that tank with something that sells.

No snow - yet, but it’s on it’s way. They track these storms and their arrival better than the arrival of Santa Claus.

LOL.... sad but true.... I don’t mind winter at all but I don’t like it skipping is over and then trying to come back... ....maybe we will at least get to see some snow pics from you!

Snowing heavily now. All the schools are cancelled, Federal government offices in Washington, most everything - closed.

We just zipped over to REDBOX and picked up two movies. So, birds are fed, we have entertainment, plenty of wood for crafts.

As long as we keep power, we’re good. Solar back up/batteries are fully charged. I guess we’re good.

I really need to get around to re-covering the couch cushions (at some point). I think about colors and patterns from time to time, but the color & pattern that I really want... is pastel tortie... So the cat hair from Loki and her offspring won't show up as much! :p :rolleyes: :D

Loki is the original dilute tortoiseshell in our household... a pastel tortie. ;)

I guess you could say my favorite cleaning strategies involve camouflage strategies. ;)

I said camouflage, not hiding. I'm one of those "out of sight, out of mind" types. When things disappear off my radar, and I find out later that they've been hidden away, not taken care of... :mad:

I'd complain (mostly in jest) that they already had one day off this week with the holiday on Monday... but I'm not really one to talk, considering how many hurricane days we had in Florida last year.

Hi, Lyn! Thanks! :):<3:
Unfortunately, jacques is back at the vets again. They are trying to figure out what's wrong, and I hesitate to say much here, since we have NO idea what's going on. I am considering posting the issues in the Heath thread.
But other than that, we are doing quite well, thanks. :<3:
Nice to see you are still here- glad your computer is cooperating! :p
Oh no! Sorry to hear that Jacques is not well. I hope that the VET is able to find out what is wrong.
