I have a few REPTISUN T5 HO UVB strip florescent fixtures with Redfoot compatible tubes if you need one. But you'd have to come get it. Send me a PM if so

She feels secure that way. A tortoise being carried with its legs dangling is a scared tortoise

I'm south of you in Broward county. Did you buy him/her from our fellow member @Southernreptiles ? If so, he was started correctly. Pellets and fruit aren't much of a menu selection. Continue to offer different foods and back off on that a bit. Try mushrooms, kale, turnip greens, broccoli...

I saw no issues with your ratios. And you're fine using that if that's what works for you.

Hello and welcome to the forum from South Florida USA

Wow. In my opinion, you're wildly overthinking this. Though I appreciate the level of concern. Just mix things up. Use a variety. The diet can change from day to day depending on what you have available. Redfoot can eat hundreds of things (perhaps thousands?) Almost any fresh, unprocessed food...

Anyone near Glendora California and want to construct a heated night house?

Vets are sometimes required. For now. Research a few of them nearby and see if they actually know anything about tortoises. Unfortunately, most do not. I have an excellent vet. But I never bring in a tortoise that seems healthy. That's what most of us suggest. Vets aren't needed for a healthy...

I think it looks like a rock he ate and pooped out. Except it's exceptional clean. Like a bladder stone. Does he have access to rocks?

That's not a typical shell fungus. In fact, I can't tell what it is. Did you try washing it off with a damp cloth?

It sounds fairly vague. More information could be helpful. First of all, your Redfoot needs an ambient temperature of at least 80. And no warmer than 88. So, 82-84 is your target. Try to avoid hot or cold areas. You mentioned in the PM that your room temperature is 73. That won't harm her as an...

I'd buy him a bus pass

So. I'm super pissed. But I thought y'all might get a laugh out of this. I'm working again. Retirement just about killed me. But the new job is about an hours drive each way. Through narrow roads with traffic. Today was a beautiful day and I decided to ride one of my motorcycles to work. The...
