Merle
New Member
Hey Gang. Just wanted to introduce Merla. We got her in April of this year. We were told she was a male when we first got her. After buying and reading The Redfoot Manual I realized she was no he. So we made a slight name adjustment from Merle to Merla.
We were told she is 2.5 years old. But if anyone has any age indicators they can share I would be interested to hear about it. She is about 13" long.
She did get out a few weeks ago and I appreciated all of the support from this community during the tort hunt. I under estimated her climbing ability and she climbed over a wall and squeaked through a compromised portion of a wood fence panel. She was gone for a week from us but she was found the next day a street over. A neighbor brought her to a friends house that has a pretty good size Salcutta. They shared the same backyard space during this time.
We live in Jacksonville, FL and its a fair bit cooler in North Florida than South Florida in the winter time. Seems like most of the posts on here the caretakers are in Central or South Florida. I am curious what Zero Pilot or any other Floridians with Redfoots think about the climate difference. My plan is copy Zero Pilots set up with the warm box and bring her in if it dips into the 40's.
We found a reptile vet in the area and we are in the process of trying to get her in for her first check up with us.
Also curious if some of the Floridians on here could give me some insight on some of the local vegetation on what she should or should not be eating. Thanks!
