Geez.

Does the sex of the tort matter?

Passive aggressive? I’ve known several persons who let large Sullies or Russians roam yard with dogs. I thought the larger space would be good for him. I could put up another pen, of course it would be smaller.

Well I separated the two because the Salcuta doesn’t care she’s a different species even though I don’t think they could “match” up. I wasn’t sure if it could get aggressive. So she’s in a pen inside of the yard. She knows I am a provider of good and will come to me though I heard Yellowfoots...

Thank you. Appreciate the insight!

I’ve tried several enclosures over the years. This season my Salcuta is just roaming yard with a Dog Igloo for shelter. We have a corner lot so it’s decent size. Though I’m working on dogs to leave alone! My Yellowfoot has a pen and loves soaking daily. Each have access to their own mini pond...

I was wondering if I just planted a bunch of seeds right in the pen if they'd have a chance to grow. Seems doubtful.

I'm the new "man's best friend".... Alpha in the house!

My Yellowfoot Shelley is so funny!

The Russian likes one enclosure while the YF enjoys the other enclosure. Naturally I'm not an expert and surely know less than many here. I have not found the dietary or envoronmental needs to be so completely different in the research I have come across. I live in Houston. We don't have much of...

I've had the Yellowfoot over a year. This is my grandbaby. She is 2 and a docile child. haha. She probably will make a good Tort owner some day.

The evidence shows that my guys mainly ignore the other. Their only concern is food and shelter. The Russian in picture had a moment of curiosity then off he went.

Everything I read about Yellowfoots indicate they are harder to keep than RedFoots and that they are very shy. My Tort is very curious. She wants to figure out my scent going pass food offered to sniff me. She comes to me knowing I feed her. She's very curious of human visitors too. Don't worry...

Thanks I'll let my son know!
