It's been a very long time since I've had to deal with roaches. The other night as I went to feed my dogs, I noticed around a dozen roaches on the wall. A few have come in the house and when I tried to clean where I found the roaches, short of a hundred came out running in every direction...

Thank you everyone for wonderful replies. I have thought about it, and taken the costs of food, housing and lighting in mind, and I think I am able to keep a new family member! I think I will start off with a hatchling. Would it be okay to buy a tote from Home Depot and house a redfoot...

Thank you very much!!! When I'm home il check it out!

I've been looking at a lot of pictures of their beautiful torts and I think I have the bug. I've found myself wanting one... But out of a lot of wonderful torts... I really want a Redfoot tortoise. I already have 2 desert tortoises, if I provide enough space could I care for a Redfoot? My...
