Living in South Florida has many benefits. One of them is living close to several great redfoot breeders who raise cherry heads. Last fall I was fortunate enough to meet Carl May and see his amazing torts including the triplets. A few days ago I was graciously welcomed at Allegra's home, toured her equally amazing torts and left with a great 2010 cherry head. The mother was Gogo who I was able to meet. Hopefully I am also first in line for a 2011 Oren baby that currently is being held back. (If she lets it go.) No name yet but he/she is settling in well and has moved into a new 3' by 5' and 12" deep fully screened outdoor enclosure. The little guy's not very big and has tons or room. I got lots of great enclosure ideas from reading old posts here and TerryO has inspired me with her use of plants for Pio's enclosures. I planted lots of safe tiny potted plants. Coleus, wandering jew, areca palm, spider plants and ferns. I also had collected several edible trees over the last year and have variegated cactus and weeping mulberry from coastal ready to feed as well as fig trees started and plenty of hibiscus which grows great year-round here. Funny thing is it's really hard to grow dandelion down here. Most other places it's everywhere!
I will attempt to post pictures when I figure that out.
