Hi All, Thought I would post a quick Aristotle update and share his valentines photoshoot haha! He's still a grumpy little lad but he's eating well and growing well. His rain system is still working beautifully and he seems to enjoy his simulated forest! Here he is enjoying a sneaky...

They gently rasp but it's not really noticeable :)

Thought I'd share an image of Myrtle- she is my light skinned tiger (although she may darken up as she grows). She has grown fairly quickly for a tiger snail. I'll post pictures of her again in a few months to show the difference. And the larger snail, is currently the biggest of my lot. This...

I'm fascinated by them! My retics grow very quickly but my tiger snails are much slower growing. I took on an albino tiger and her shell condition was awful from poor diet and not having her humidity and temperature controlled. But I'm pleased to say with the correct care I've managed to get...

Thought I'd update this post to show how much my two reticulata have grown since October. This is them a couple of weeks ago!

Some wild caught ones do have worms but you can worm them by feeding crushed and soaked hemp seeds. Tiger snails are actually a delicacy in parts of Africa and there are far fewer in the wild due to this.

A friend of mine feeds her skink newly hatched Giant African land Snails and I've wondered if when mine have hatchlings would they be suitable to feed to a redfoot? Does anyone know?

I got them from a local reptile shop here in the U.K. I really couldn't believe how much he loved them. The lovely thing is the shop know me well and know I only have one only have the one young redfoot and it's not practical for me to be buying a whole pack of calci-worms and having a load turn...

Hi all (long time no posting!), I've been unable to make it online to chat with work commitments etc but I'm back. Aristotle is doing well and growing beautifully. I tried him on mealworms a while back and he had one and was then not interested in taking them. Even when hidden in his food he...

So the general consensus is I need to persuade my other half to let me get two more RF's lol. I did fall in love with two little ones today!

Is it best to do introductions when they're younger? Your 7 week old sounds very sweet, like he wants to be like the older one!

Hi all, I got my little Aristotle back in August and we think he is approximately 6 months old. We have now come across some hatchlings not much younger than him. My love of RF's just grows everyday and I'd love to have more than one but have a few questions: 1) Is it the right time to make...

Oh bless them! And you for taking them in and getting them on the road to a healthier life.

If that flayling leg doesn't say, 'put me back in my dinner!' I don't know what does! Excellent picture!

Looking good! You can set up a system where your heat lamps turn off if an optimum temp is reached and click back on again if they need to heat again. You'll need a thermostat to monitor this. I have a temperature gradient across my enclosure too which is advised. I also have 3 different...

If your tort has become accustomed to only eating fruit, in particular strawberries I would try to vary that asap. A varied diet is vital in forming a nice healthy smooth shell. I ensure my RF has different greens each day including grape vine leaves, endive, raddicio, rocket, butterhead...

All very beautiful! Particularly like the first and second!

Welcome to the forum! What a gorgeous tort Cosmo is! Would be great to see pictures of your enclosure set up when you get chance. Enjoy the forum! :)

Welcome! I would suggest giving him a good soak as you don't know how well hydrated he is. I think most people would recommend soaking frequently to ensure hydration. Perhaps offer some slate feeding stations for helping with his claw and beak filling. Cuttlefish would also help and I bet...

Although you won't be able to reverse the pyramiding if you're keeping her in the ideal set up (humidity is vital here) with the correct varied diet any future growth should be smoother. Do you know the humidity of your enclosure? Ideally you're looking to keep humidity at 80%. The substrate...
