Mine is so smooth on the bottom and just getting that darker hour glass look. I have wondered if he was older than we thought but still 6 months or less perhaps??
I don’t know what that means cuz mine has gotten thick before. He is going thru it now and his feet and head are very thick. Could it be what is needed for a growth spurt?
Thanks for this.If the deep end of the pool is like this Flash tries to swim or paddle. I thought I was not supposed to let him do this all this time!!
I will take any information about redfooted I can get especially since have Flash since mid oct - I took him home thinking he was two months old..
By that calculus he will be 5 months old in a week. I just wonder if 5 inches long one way and 4.5 across the middle is too big for age. Also since...
I can certainly see why Sucata’s are so popular.My best friend got one and she loves her Pauly so much. He was so tiny when she got him and is still likely 2.5-3 once’s. I got a different species because I lacked the facilities to give a Sucata the life one needs and deserves.
Tom says these...
sounds like you and your dad have done a lot for Clover for 3 years. I am not a Sucata mom but the ones I have met seem friendly and sweet to me. Florida USA is a popular place for these big guys. Good luck!!!
This pic reminds me of what I saw yesterday on the rear chute of my 4 month Red footed named Flash except he is not missing a chute. There was a tiny split down the middle of that chute. Will try to get a pic since I do not know enuff about tort anatomy to even know if it is abnormal.
Thankyou for taking him in and giving him tender care. I agree on the soaking. Not only great for his health, cleans them out and energizes them.I wonder if Soaking also makes them feel better than anything else we do with and for them
great question. I considered a 2x4 but decided he needs something bigger. He is 4 months old and a bit over 4 inches .the harder part will be outside because I need to know so much more.. that includes size of tortoise, types of fencing and height that will keep him in . We live in FL
