Lmao.
Sometimes when I can't be bothered to run the bath again, I just jump in Dawns bath. My feet end up like that.
Now, can someone please tell me why the female gender of the human race insist on having the f.....ng bath water scalding hot, that hot I can't even get in the 2nd hand water without adding a ton of cold water, its not normal.

Merry Xmas all.

I had to do something to provide get away time just to get through this winter. This time next year won't be a problem. So I have provided several seperate boxes aswell as their large enclosure. They always want what the other has. The one in the box is coming up to 14" SCL, dug in and ain't moving.
Edna the cherry on the ramp got in just after this shot., and another was on her way up the ramp.
Doesn't look safe does it? I'll come up with something for now.
One of them did use this box for laying her eggs.

They are funny . The picture I posted with them eating mazuri looks like a game of hungry hippos .

Here are a few.

I have to say this cherryhead looks amazing. Could you tell us some of the history of this tort.
How long have you had her?
Have you had her from a juvenile?
What is her SCL ?
What sort of care as she had?

Same here. She is gorgeous, WC or CB? How long you had her?

This girl I've had since 2002. She was part of my original group. I don't have much info on her origins, but she was purchased fully grown in a 1:3 breeder group. I believe she was probably an import rather than captive bred.

She was an '04 hatchling I believe. She was a 4pm Sunday deal at the Daytona show '04. Sold as the least attractive hatchling in a group of high color babies. All my groups live outside approx 350 days per year. I only bring them in when sub 55°temps are expected. She had some issues with shell rot as a sub adult. Since I've begun treating everyone in my groups regularly she barely shows any signs of it at this point. She's laid me at least 2 clutches each of the last 3 seasons. Unfortunately, I just recently got a cherryhead male of sufficient size, so next season I should produce some full cherryheads. The babies she's produced so far with my nomal redfoot male have been tiny and brilliantly colored.

Where in the world do you live?
What about diet, what do you feed?

 

[tctpa523]

South Florida. They have my yard to graze in. I supplement feed with Mazuri tortoise chow, assorted greens, seasonal fruits and veggies. They eat whatever falls off my fruit trees, and I always give them the carcasses whenever I go spearfishing. We have heat and humidity year round. Redfoots do well down here.
