    M.e.p. shell

    Does anyone know what the cause is for Hotcake's shell to have a small growth / uneven raised piece on his shell? I have been watching it for a few months. It isn't going away! Any advice , and/or care instructions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Alena

    Coconut Shell

    Is yours a Cherryhead redfoot tortoise? Maui is a cherryheaded redfoot. I believe cherryheads are the smaller redfoot. It appears Maui is growing fast...faster than I expected for sure.

    Coconut Shell

    Is a real coconut shell safe to use as a hide for a 2 year old Cherryheaded redfoot? I am planning on cleaning out the fruit . Afterwards, I will sand it inside & out. Any input on this subject would be greatly appreciated.
