Hey everyone. Longtime lurker, first time poster. I currently share my home and yard with 10 red foots and a lone cherry head. I'm lucky enough to live in Southwest Florida so the bigger guys enjoy a 24/7 outdoor life with a heated house for those uncommonly cold nights. Here's some pictures of my outdoor setup and my outdoor torts. I also have 5 yearlings that are in a typical Avituvin tortoise table which stay inside during these winter months where the temperature fluctuates quite a bit. Warmer days they get wheeled outside where they can soak up the natural UV rays. Most of mine have come to me from people who could for one reason or another no longer care for them, especially after the recent devastation we suffered from Hurricane Ian, so I am happy to have been able to provide a home for a few.

Welcome fellow south Floridian!
This area is just about ideal for keeping Redfoot.
I always say that my success is "cheating" because of the location.
As I type I have two large totes in my living room with 2 large Redfoot waiting for the morning.
