Hi everyone -- I should've joined this great resource when I acquired my RF 7 years ago!
Before getting Agent 99 (aka Peaches), I'd never cared for a reptile before so it has been a new and interesting learning experience. Just glancing through the forum I'm anxious to learn a whole lot more.
She's outgrowing her current enclosure so I want to build a small-footprint, multi-level design that will give her a ton more room with the possibility of adding more space up if she outgrows it.
99 is active and loves to climb and knock around anything I put in with her. I swap out items to add some variety. She has an outdoor enclosure in the summer for daytime.
The issues that continue to be challenges are maintaining humidity levels and her shell pyramiding. I've read different thoughts on pyramiding from improper diet to lack of moisture/humidity. She soaks herself a lot and her diet is varied with the right foods. Although I've also read different ratios of protein, fruits and vegetables so I don't know what's right.
Thanks for letting me join the forum. I'm looking forward to reading all about the various types of tortoises and learning how to better care for mine. I expect her to live a long time!
