Three days ago I was given a female Redfoot tortoise. I am told that she is about one year old.
The tort came with a 20 gallon long tank and a lamp fixture, plus assorted odds and ends. I know that she will outgrow this enclosure sooner or later, and I plan on having something larger in the future and have already begun looking.
I'm not happy with the substrate and plan on replacing it soon. I've been reading up on what other people are using and have a few ideas of how I want to re-scape this tank.
I'm looking forward to learning what I can here on this forum. I'm including a few pictures of our new pet, who my daughter has named Penny. You'll see that most of the pics show her sitting in her water, which is currently in a glass candle lid (soon to be replaced).
