Hi and welcome! Is this your very first tortoise? How did you decide upon a redfooted?

Yes this is my first tortoise :) and I chose a red foot because I love the way they look and I live in Florida and as adults they do well outdoors here , just curious I'm overly paranoid with my pets but does he or she look healthy ?

Hello and Welcome:). Hard to tell from just a photo, but looks good to me. Be sure to keep a higher humidity but with the top layer if substrate dry. RF need high humidity to grow smooth but are prone to shell rot.
