No toy, but I sacrificed a pair of garden shoes for him to make love to.

When it hits puberty, you might be rethinking that. Your summers will be interesting.

I feel the same way. Obviously make sure it's really theirs, but if it is, you don't have the right to keep it from them unless you have solid evidence of mistreatment.

I think that's true, but I assumed it was only for loose animals. If a reptile is completely enclosed during the flight, is it still forbidden?

Consider yourself lucky. We had the opposite experience, getting a juvenile redfoot we thought was female, and later it grew up and started going in heat. (I posted about that experience in this forum last year, it's pretty gross.) We'd much rather have eggs. I've been thinking of renaming...

From the size of the shell, I'd estimate it's about 5 years old (which is too young to know the sex) and as others have mentioned has not been fed enough protein. (My redfoot will eat an entire bowl of cat food if I let him.) If you don't adopt it, please tell the owner it needs a better diet...

You never eat rice or bread?

The one simple thing they can do is replace the soak dish with a shorter and wider one that he can easily climb into and fit. It's not enough, but will give him some relief until he can be rehoused. Personally, I feel sorry for tortoises that are enclosed all the time. My red foot is free...

Seriously though, how old was Clyde when he became sexually active? Did you get him as a baby? I've had Patty for 8 years but am not sure how old he was at adoption. He weighed 1.5 pounds then so I was assuming 2-4 yrs old.

Does he smoke a cigarette after he finishes? (If so, what kind?)

I agree. The one on the left looks both darker and larger than the one on the right, so I couldn't tell which was which.

It's been an interesting summer to say the least. Our boy Patty (thought it was a girl when we adopted him as a juvenile 8 years ago) seems to have reached either puberty or adulthood and is looking for love in all the wrong places, trying to mount everything within reach. Shoes, feet, bags of...

My adult male redfoot (about 10-12 years) has been eating a lot lately, more than he ever has in the winter when he spends less time outside exercising. He seems healthy - I haven't observed any worrisome symptoms. I'm just amazed at how quickly he is cleaning his salad plates compared to in...

What an amazing video! I had no idea the eggs were so large. I have a male redfoot. Thought it was female when I got it but it never laid eggs.

Those red babies are adorable, and your enclosure looks perfect for them. I have an adult redfoot which was already an advanced juvenile when I got him, so I let him roam the backyard and set up a simple deck box for him to sleep in. Redfoots are very active and like to walk a loft. And they...

Agree. Our redfoot is amazing, very social and eats snails and weeds too! We wish we had a more humid environment for him (we live in SF bay area) and Florida is perfect for them.
