I'm sure the issue is universal and not just here in the 'States... Most vets don't know much about tortoises. They will look at antiquated reference books that are not helpful. Then learn as you pay them. At the animals expense. I'm not saying that your particular vet is a QUACK. Some are very...

I'm assuming left-overs. As in made too much of it. I also don't reccomend placing uneaten and likely contaminated food back into the freezer. Throw away the uneaten portion. I totally misread that. If you made too much, you can freeze it. But if they didn't eat everything on the plate, throw...

Any time. Redfoot can eat a huge variety of foods. And aren't picky about it, either. Especially as they get older. It's one of the great things about the species. Just feed a variety. And you'll be fine.

Redfoot are especially fond of eating "less than pristine" and not very fresh food. Try it. But feed it at room temperature. Thaw at room temperature. Do not microwave and do not feed it cold.

@Tom That heated night box is built better than my actual house.

Just be sure to zip tie those clamps on them end or secure the with safety wire or even screws. Those clamps always fail. Letting the light fall into the enclosure risking breaking of the glass and/or a fire

Its the type that gives off heat and light. If that's the question. But without a dome fixture. It's going in every direction

There's so much pure crap out there, that whenever I find a truly great product, I mention it.

You may need to bring in some fill and raise up the area that the enclosure will be on. Or build a raised enclosure. Dogs can never (ever) be nearby. Any dogs. Eventually it will chew on your tortoise. They're irresistibly delicious. Unfortunately. Hopefully you'll get a few ideas from my video...

Pine is fine outside. I use treated pine. It lasts for years and it's cheap. Most of my enclosures are entirely made of six foot fence pickets lumber. Bang some steel pickets into the ground and attach the lumber to the pickets with DECK SCREWS. (They also last forever) I'd go at least 10x10...

I did the same

We're talking about your GREEK tortoise? Just to clarify.

Is that a BLUE TAIL? Or 3 lined Skink? We've got those here. The seem to be one of the few lizards tough enough to live with the CURLY TAIL lizard take-over.

My Redfoot destroy my banana plants. But the crazy things grow right back!

So, glass eyes are older. Makes sense.

Usually you can get by with a kit the first time. And hopefully your environment won't eat away at the plastic. This area is Hell on plastics and clearcoat paints. I repainted the hood and roof on the Scion last year because the clear was failing. But Toyota has crappy paint. To be honest. The...

That's not a super mass-produced car. They'll probably just get even more expensive. I can get a PAIR of Tacoma shells for a hundred bucks. (But the quality is not great)

Funny. One of my many past jobs was painting school busses for the district.

A few things last for a few days or a few weeks. Like bug spray. This lasts nearly as long as a new lense.

I love the stuff!
