Hypothetically speaking, if a redfoot is raised from a baby to adult in a large, humid enclosure... and is fed mazuri all its life, will it live to be an old age and healthy? Yes it is not a natural food, BUT does it contain the nutrients and vitamins needed to produce long lived healthy...

just curious guys... thats all. marijuana is non toxic to humans and it has some medicinal benefits so I was just wondering if it would be similar to tortoises... and why is it toxic to tortoises anyways?

the tortoise superfood? Just curious.. it is a weed and all .. :cool:

Hi, I just have a smiple question. I noticed with some species of tortoises, they constantly pace the tank trying to get out... ARE redfoot's known for this activity or not so much? From what I have seen in petstores, they don't exhibit this activity as much as other species... just...

Thanks, I will get more pix up when I find the camera.

yeah it cost over $500 I think. My dad paid for part of it, he has a tile saw and knows how to cut tile, or else I wouldn't have done tile... the most expensive single element was the heating mat, over $250. kbaker- I wasn't going to have tile as the enclosure's floor. I am going to put...

a redfoot. it is like 6 by 3 foot only big enough for one probably.A cherryhead. The whole thing is heated, not in sections... There is a heat mat underneath it, not removable. The thermostat is installed underneath. I am going to cover at least half of the top with glass pieces probably, I...

what about the appalachian mountains for forest type torts, redfoots?

Hi, I currently don't have the money for a radiated, and am not even sure how to acquire one in Southern Indiana, but will there ever be a day where they are moderately ($100-500) affordable? How are captive breeding programs coming along? Will they one day be extinct in the wild and only...

Ok, so everyone likes to talk about the "most personable tortoise." What about the most UN personable tortoise species? Ones that don't really give a darn and just don't seem to be interested. :D

Is it a fact that tortoises closer to the equator have darker skin coloration..?

Are hosta's ok? I would like to see a simple, visual list of common plants sold at for ex. home depot, walmart, etc. that are safe to use...

I think it is debated whether it is bad for their health or a cosmetic thing.... it probably differs from tortoise to tortoise whether it is harmful or not. As long as you stop it now I don't think you have too much to worry about...

well thats what I am going to do then. I decided I am going to use one daylight flourescent, and one "2.0" UVB flourescent, with a normal heat bulb...
