Got a red footed tortoise today!

[mike taylor]

Sadly a new forum member had to rehome his red foot . But I do commend him for finding him a good home . He is a little pyramided but he is a beautiful and healthy tort . Like most of us here have had the humidity problems . But here are the pictures .

---

I know I forgot the pictures . I know he looks dry I have to keep the substrate dry for now he is getting over some shell issues . I do have my garage at 80 % humidity with the humidifier .

Glad you could help out. He's in good hands

 

[mike taylor]

Yep I will give him what he needs . Hopefully his life will slow down and he can have him back . I told him he could at no charge . He was really not wanting him to go . But he could not give him the time he needed to . So he ia here for life or when Mr Fred is ready to take over .

Thanks again for taking him in Mike!

It breaks my heart to see him go, but I know he's better off with someone who has the time and space to take care of him.

I know he's going to love it there. Lots of space to roam around, and the only male with 3 ladies. Life is good!

That hibiscus and spider plant don't stand a chance

 

[mike taylor]

I know thats right! That spider plant was four times as big as it is now . They mow it down and it keeps coming back .

I just put new seed down. So by the end of the month it should look like a jungle in their enclosure .

 

[T33's Torts]

At least yours come back! I had a $160 worth of plants in the Russian cage, and it was gone within a day. Never came back. :dodgy:

 

[mike taylor]

My reds will eat a little then get uninterested . It gives it time to come back . I have more on standby .
