Thinking of getting a few red foots.

I bought a house a couple years ago in south florida and I have a court yard that I think would be perfect for keeping tortoise. I originally thought I wanted a sulcata but I now think red foot would be a better choice. I am planning on re landscaping it and would like some kind of water feature that they can access. What do you all think?

The courtyard is 20 plus feet by about 14 feet wide. I'm open to suggestions.

Hello

Don't forget what torts do in water !

Looks like that could be a nice tortious resort! And welcome to the forum.

Super idea.
Florida and Redfoot go together.
However you need one or three or more with just one male preferably.
Pairs are a bad idea.
I have mine housed like this with swimming ponds and huts.
I have open pens, closed pens and secured areas for younger tortoises not shown.

@ZEROPILOT I've read many of your posts and you were a big reason why I've decided on redfoots.
