If you don't mind, can you help to guess which of these are Indian or Sri Lankan?

Agreed, this is for the Redfooted. Leopard will have another drier pen.

Redfoot "Monster", Cherryhead "Dotty" and Leopard "Leopy". Agreed to the enclosure size but due to space limitation have to start with this then will go larger whenever possible.

Outdoor Pen Project Material sourcing: Big enclosure, why enclosure? My house compound mainly concrete floor, the only grass area was contaminated with cleaning chemical. I will have to resurface whole place to avoid poisoning to my tortoise. Moreover, enclosure is easier work with in later...

She just don't care how high it is....

I had another CherryHead (Dotty) got it before this Redfooted (Monster). When Dotty first arrived quite shy, not eating or poop well. Introduce Monster to Dotty does help, now Dotty is gangsta with its big sista bodyguard Monster.

LOL....few times when I leave lesser food for them, Monster over-turned the food tray.

Just curious if everyone Redfoot is active and restless like my Monster girl?

Newspaper is definitely not the right thing to use for bedding tho can easily throw away and change new piece. You can easily find good substrate in plant nursery. I got my coco peat from plant nursery but quality may not as good as those sold in pets shop. Coco peat I bought contain many hair...

Nothing is impossible, we have friend's tort with RNS. Better prepare when needed than sorry later, especially those who stay near the hill

I did the same way though felt guilty making my tort felt being force

Indoor the temperature could drop below 28 degC especially at night, I would suggest to get a lamp or CHE in case need it. Humidity is one thing I didn't get ready or never thought of, once my hygrometer is delivered will do a proper survey and make sure enough moist.

Thanks Mark. Will as per suggested, update here again soon

Thanks Mark, that was a very good detail for beginner like me. I lived in Southeast Asia, the rules of 80/80 is not an issue here. We have humidity on average at about 80% daily and temperature of 27°C to 34°C. Since I am placing my Star indoor day time room temperature is lower at about 30°C...
