Mine also come "running" over when I'm outside. They also like their heads scratched.

My rf has some spots on her plastron that scrape off...Is that shell rot? And if so, what do I do?

Thanks!

Thanks everybody!

Please pardon me if this is a stupid question, but I have a tortoise that I've suspected to be a female. She hasn't seemed as interested in eating lately, could she have eggs? or is that just a dumb question? If she's a she, she's about 7 inches long. I'm guessing that's too little, but...

I saw a few other posts with pictures and thought I'd add mine to the list. What do you guys think I have 2 boys, 2 girls, or one of each? They are about 7 inches long, so it may be too soon to tell. Thanks in advance... This is Stella: This is Ally: Let me know what you think...

Very pretty!

I believe there is one at the Cincinnati Zoo.

Your son sounds like a big help. My kids are 11, 9, and 5. It would be a whole different kind of help lol. Your place looks awesome!

I'd love to add a waterfall/stream to my outdoor enclosure. With the sunken pump, are you able to keep the pond part shallow enough? I'm trying to wrap my head around it...Maybe when the kids are back in school...or I could let them "help" me. lol

I got them from Vicki Hale. They have different mothers so I guess that's different clutches. I hope to have some myself someday. With 4 redfoots now, it may happen eventually.

I recently had a tortoise go missing. He was found about a week and a half later. Do they do microchipping in the US too? I don't plan on my guys getting out ever again. Their habitat is now like Tortoise Alcatraz, or maybe Tortoise Disneyland, with an impenetrable fence around it.

Thanks everyone. They are so small compared to my 6" guys, Ally and Stella. I got them when they were 3-4 inches and these guys are only 4 and 5 months old. It's been a lot of fun so far. We're very proud.

I have 2 tortoises Stella and Ally and we just added 2 new babies to our family. I just had to share pictures.

I'm a pretty new tortoise owner too. It's hard not to go overboard trying to make sure everything is good for them. Hang in there. It gets easier. There does seem like there's so much to learn. Everyone here is great and can give you all the help you need. Jennifer

You could line the bottom with pond liner or linoleum under the substrate. Jennifer I had considered the rotting issue, and that is why I was wondering if it is okay to put a sealant on the wood. Evan

Is there a place on there that says how much it costs? I'm curious to see what you guys think too. Jennif

My redfoots like their water on the warm side, but there are still days when they are more into soaking than others. Jennifer

One of my red foots is more sensitive to low humidity. If I keep it high, the eyes are fine, but when it gets low, the eyes get sticky. Does it open it after a time or does it never open. Jennifer

Is it kind of a clicking noise? My red foot does that sometimes. Jennifer
