Hello! I have a little yellowfoot tortoise, and I've been selectively feeding him specific weeds that I know the names of only. But I live in a forest in PA and we have so, so so many weeds around that I just don't know what they are called/if they are fine to feed him. I feel like he's just...

Enjoying his fresh water dish! Something tells me I'm going to have to change the water... Again... In about 10 minutes

Sorry its sideways Idk why though. On mobile it keeps flipping it. But here is Monty enjoying some canteloupe and ignoring the fresh salad I set out lol

I see a lot of different info and opinions out there on keeping red/Yellowfoot tortoises. I was just wondering what the humidity should be around. I have a baby yellowfoot in a closed aquarium. The temperature doesnt ever fall below around 80 degrees, and the humidity generally hovers around...

I meant to also tag @JoesMum in my response too!

@ZEROPILOT that is one of the sites I saw but a lot of them lump red and yellows together, and I read other places that things such as diet can vary between them. Redfoots are way more popular and so in thinking most of the info is really specific to them. I'm hoping someone who raises...

Hello everybody! So I just got my baby yellowfoot Montezuma (Monty) from the wonderful people over at The Turtle Source yesterday and I have some questions about lighting/humidity. I have him in a 30 gallon tank right now with cypress mulch substrate with about 3/4 of the tank having a layer of...

Oh for sure I wouldn't let my impatience get in the way of getting my tortoise from a reputable source/breeder. Otherwise I would have already bought from either backwater reptiles or this snakesatsunset guy. I was just hoping there was some great place I hadn't come across yet in my searching...

Hello everybody! I've basically wanted a tortoise all of my life, and the past few months have been really researching and pricing out/getting into actually getting one. I am looking to get a yellowfoot hatchling, and want to get it from a reputable breeder. The three I have seen that I have...
