      Hey there I was wondering if you could help me. I just got my first Redfoot at a reptile show 2 months ago and the guy who sold him to me had no info on him besides he's "Imported". I'm interested in knowing a little more about him from some experienced keepers. I don't know how to send pics in message so here is a link to my post. Thank you!

      Hello, my family is wanting to get a baby tortoise this Spring, our first one and I want to get it right. I'm in the Dallas area too and curious about region specific advice. He'd most likely be in a backyard enclosure. Are there any good resources for what's best around here? Which species thrives the best, what specific stuff enclosures need, what food grows the best, etc. Thank you so much!

        Hello turtwig. Well depends on the size of backyard and also the space you have indoors for winter time. A smaller species is about the best route to go. Hermanns, Russians, Greek, or even a redfoot is a great starter tortoise. They are all packed with personality and are quite easy to mAintain. Are
        You wanting to get a baby or start with a larger one?

      Worried my son's cherry tortoise 7yr old no My husb checks on her once in a while and found her lathargic, not eating, not opening eyes without warm water or petting. Also since the food (greens) in her tank had spoiled there were fruit flies in the tank There were larva on the bottom of her shell moved the tank in our room and it's been cleaned daily also soaking her everyday Just scared if we're doing all we can

        Doesn't sound very well. What temperatures and how is the set up looking. A photo would be great. Also what are you feeding the little guy?

      Hello! I'm looking far and wide for the elusive Chaco Tortoise. My husband is an avid tortoise owner and had a female Chaco in 1980-2000. He's been unable to find another and we've been looking for several years now. I've seen a few posts in which you mention them. Do you have any leads on Chaco ownership in this day and age?!

        Chacos are very difficult to find. Most of the keepers that have them rarely sell any offspring or adults. Occasionally you will see one on the classifieds. PM me and I can put you in touch with a breeder for an offspring.

      Hey tortadise,

      I've been cruising this site for a while, and my wife and I are still in search of an Egyptian. I know they are hard to come by, and I am having a hard time finding folks that breed them. I'm hoping you can help point me in the right direction in finding a breeder.

      Thank you. Happy 4th!

        He shouldn't. I'd say the worms and beetles have decomposed quite well by now.

      Hi. I live in the UK. My redfoots are indoors in a viv. What do you recommend for substrate? I have had them on grass pellets but I am being told that is wrong? Also, do you know what the humidity should be? Any advice is greatly received. Thanks Donna
      Apr 12, 2015

        tortadise
        Hi Donna. The best substrate for Redfoots is soil mixed with some mulch.

      Hello tortadise,
      Best wishes for a happy Christmas.
      I asked Josh if he can change my username "turtlesardinia", in "TestudoSardinia" and my date of birth wrong "21/08/1978" in "26/08/1978" but he did not answer me yet ...
      You can fulfill my request?
      Or you could warn him?

      Thank You:)

        Joe is a well known person in the reptile community. I have never purchased anything from him. But many people I know have. Should be able to find his information on fauna classifieds or king snake

        Ok,so safe to buy from him? As I'm overseas and need to transfer the bank wired. Thanks for the information

        tortadise
        Yes it is safe to buy from him. But overseas transactions would be best discussed with him. As far as being safe, yes indeed.

      I have a combined uva and uvb bulb for my tortoise table. Should i turn it off at night and just have it on in the day?
      Oct 29, 2014
      2. tortadise
        tortadise
        Yes. Leave it on during the day. Cycle of 12-13 hours on and 11-12 hours off. What kind of bulb is it? A mercury vapor?
