That buildings houses 38 redfoots, 12 yellow foots, a few texas torts, a group of leopards, and some manouria. They all love it. Especially when it "rains" 4 times a day. There are some turtles, skinks, and anoles that also live there, along with many frogs to keep the gnat and fly population down, since the pitcher plants are lacking that department. Ha.

Everyone gets along just perfect. This is only the winter set up for these guys. Come spring-summer they all go outside.

Oh the palms, Majesty palm, date palm, Vietnamese thorny palm, queen palm, ficus(benjamini), banyon tree and brazilian giant elephant ear are the main large plants seen in the photo. Theres many more in the greenhouse but the big ones are as described.

Elephant ear? Thought I saw that on a toxic list...Maybe I'm wrong. 38 red foots? Wow. How big are each of your enclosures and how many do they each house? Just curious how well they cope in that big of groups.

That strain seems to be a favorite of the reds and no problems. Guyana groups pen is 10x 17, the yellows is 24x10. Manouria is 17x10. The rest are smaller animals in 10x10.

Hm. I'm going to have to try some of those in my enclosures then. I've always loved the plant, but have seen it on toxic lists.
38 redfoots in a 10x17? Yet somehow I didn't see a single one in the picture .

Not all the reds are on that pen just the guyanas. Its a 3.6. Ill post some photos of em.

Fantastic pics everyone. Laurie, it looks like you cemented Brains in, so he couldn't pull any more of his antics Love the turtle candy pic, the green on the nose, handsome Sir Percy well love him. All great pics of torts and enclosures. This is a great fun thread. My cute little Tatum is not very photogenic. He sleeps with his butt facing me in a hide, he's a clean eater, and he doesn't burrow.
Tatum, just before Christmas stuff got put away. Chilling with Santa and Rudolph.

That makes more sense . I'm trying to picture 38 red foots in 170 square feet....
Where are all of the rest of your 29 red foots ?

 

[tortadise]

Haha yeah that would be cruel. There in smaller pens. A good bunch of em are sub adults in smaller pens. Then theres some venezuelan adults which are small of the northern race.

 

[RedfootsRule]

I was likening the picture to a koi farm....Where I think I can walk across them . Lol
