Welcome.

I bought some basics, I know I need to buy him more things,
but I'm still trying to figure out what he needs
I keep finding contradictory information though

There is a lot of old information based on the way we 'used' to do things or on misinderstood aspects of tortoise care. Even with that, little of the contradictory stuff is really bad.

I've got a site going where I try to share my research and offer as accurate info as I can. To offer more balance, it also links to several other good sites. http://www.tortoiselibrary.com

Wow, this is great!
Thank you!

Hi!
I just bought a red foot yesterday,
grateful for any tips or advice!

Hello and yes this is a great forum. I have 4 adult redfoots, 2 Radiated tortoises, eggs and hatchlings. Its been alot of fun, If your in Chicago you will nee to keep your new guy warm and moist. I use sphagnum moss for the bedding has worked great for me for years. When summer comes you will have to let him roam in the sun. alot of info on redfoots.com
