Tyrones New Enclosure ...Help with Temps.!

Could be a start of some bacterial or fungal infection. Just scrub it with some chlorhexidine (hibiclense) from walgreens. Then just make sure to keep it dry and clean.

I don't know anything about redfoots but I sure like that enclosure! You've given me some ideas! But I AM a bit miffed that you STOLE the name I was going to give my tort: if it's a male I was going to name it Tyronne E. SaurusRex. But you were too quick for me! Ha!

His full name is Tyrone Rufus Franklin the Third .... Don't ask what happened to first and second! My daughter named him and that's the answer she gave!

HAHA, thats awesome. I use to name stray dogs long names like that when they would be brought into the vet clinic where I worked. Cracks me up.

Definitely in the northern classification possibly northeastern. The northeastern are more readily bred and imported recently here in the US. Hard to tell exactly 100% on the sex. looks very male to me. Sometime though when they are in the akward size to accurately sex size, like this. They can have growth spurts and show chacteristics of both. Could go either way but right now looks like a boy.

Northern consist of - Ecuador, Peru, and Columbia.

Northeastern consist of - Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana, and parts of Northern Brazil.

I like to think of him as Brazilian! LOL!





Here is a top view of him munching away on some escarole, kale and spring mix.

They have always named out pets long names ... Right out of left field too ... Our last cat was Tallulah Belle Chauncey Smith ... Go figure!

I got really lucky and found that huge aquarium on Craigslist and talked the guy down to 65 bucks! They had a bearded dragon and decided to get a different cage. It is soooo heavy too, but I think a perfect home for the winter and summer nighttime sleeping. This spring we are going to build him a nice outdoor enclosure. ... I will need some great ideas ... Hint hint wink wink !

What a gorgeous male! I can totally see his pinched in waist too. Mine must be southern, she's nice and round.
My daughters picked her name, Princesse, very original ;-)

Thank you! We love him! I love to just sit and watch him, he gives me peace, I just wish I could know what he is thinking ...

Oh I know what you mean! Real life nature show, way better than anything on TV
I fell in love with turtles/tortoises 30 years ago thanks to my dad and I'm thoroughly pleased that my 2 daughters are following in our footsteps. They are such amazing and fascinating creatures
