Hello! My name is Juli and although not new to reptiles (chameleon breeder, dragon and gecko keeper) this is my first tortoise-a little Cherry Head. I am glad to find a forum and looking forward to some great information! :)

Hi Juli:

to the forum!

We have many, many redfoot tortoise keepers here on the forum. I'm sure you'll fit right in. Florida is probably a wonderful place to have a redfoot tortoise.

I'll bet it's warm and balmy in Florida right now. Here we are expecting snow tomorrow, and the leaves are almost finished falling from the trees. The wind is brisk and my garden plants are all fading to shades of tan and brown. No outdoor jaunts for Taco for at least a few days...sigh.

Welcome to the forum. What's your tortoise's name? Post some pictures of your little Cherryhead in his/her warm and colorful habitat.:p

What an adorable little munchkin! I love the coloring on his legs--so much red!

Sure-I got him from Reptile Industries. If you want to see a cool video-search for Reptile Industries on You Tube-they have amazing turtle and tortoise facilities!

Tsk, tsk! And once Bob finds out, just watch that pile of poop, pee and food spread and grow....
