Hello everyone! I have a 6/7 month old red foot living in a 3x5 enclosure I built that has a sealable top! I’ll post add a photo for reference. I wanted to double check and make sure I have the correct amount of UVB. I am using a reptisun t5 ho 10.0 bulb that is 20 inches from the substrate in...
Thank you I will look into one then thank you! Also the Che in the photos keeps that warm side at about 85 degrees and the other side of his home is 77. Does that sound right?
hello! I attached an image of the Che I use and how far it is from the tortoises home! In the photo I have his cover on as well for humidity purposes. I will definitely look into your suggestions. Do you know if there is anything comparable in a bulb format? If not I will build something that...
Hello everyone thank you for taking the time to read this. I have a 5 month old red foot and with winter coming I won’t be able to take him outside for his UVB anymore. What type of UVB light should I get it and how long should I use it daily? It would hang approximately 2 feet above his...
I had just taken him out of his hidebox for a soak. I’ve been giving him daily soaks for about 15 mins outside for sunlight as well maintaining about 70 ish humidity in his home
Hello everyone and thank you for checking out my post. Yesterday I noticed a patch of what looked like skin or something peeling off under the chin/neck area of my little tort and wanted to double check it wasn’t something wrong. Thank you In advance!
thank you for the advice! You’re always so informative and helpful and I appreciate it! I will definitely mix it up! How often do you recommend proteins?
Hello! I have it loosely covering a corner where I keep his hideout, I haven’t noticed him eating it at all and he poops most the time during his bath. I can definitely remove it if needed. Morty tends to sleep under it then walk across it to the spot where I feed him that’s a foot or two away...
Hello! I’m not using as substrate, I only have a patch that I keep next to his hideout to help with humidity. Morty tends to sleep under it then crawl over it when it’s time to feed on the opposite side of his home. I hope that’s ok! Thank you!
Hello everyone! I have a baby red foot that’s just a couple months old. I have been feeding him a wide variety of greens and fruits. But my questions is involving protein! I have been feeding him some hard boiled egg once a week or so. I want to offer other high quality proteins such as some...
Thank you! I just wanted to double check that the little skin peeling off part was from when he was attached to the yolk. I’m a first time tortoise owner and wanted to play it safe.
I have a young red footed tortoise that is approximately 3 months or so old. He’s roughly the size of a golf ball. When I got him I noticed these little skin like flaps on his belly but was told that it was normal from when he hatched. Can anyone tell me if there is anything I should do about...
Thank you everyone! I planted a pothos I propagated recently in his home! It’s still in a potter and I built a mini little enclosure around it to give it time to thrive. Thank you all for your help!
