I haven't posted in a while so thought I would share some updated pics of Squirt and his fancy shmancy Shed! Squirts been doing great and as he is getting older (2006 baby) he is coming out of his shyness and starting to eat from our hands and come to us more often. Enjoy!
Hello All,
I currently have 4 redfoots and they all are kept in an outdoor pen for the spring/summer. Lat year one of my females got eggbound which required an expensive visit to the vet. I tried incubating the eggs but no luck my guess is they werent fertile. My question is one of my males...
Haven't been here in a while. Took a pic of Squirt who is now 6 years old. Got him 4 years ago about the size of a softball and now 20-21 inches long and near 50lbs. I think this is the last shot of me holding him- I need a Chiropractor!!!!
Thought I would share a pic of Squirt enjoying some of this warm March weather we are having here in Georgia. Been in the 80's and perfect for tortoise to come out and stretch those winter legs!
Hello all,
I have a female redfoot approx 8 inches long which laid some eggs (infertile) for the first time last year in October. This year I noticed her being very lathargic so I brought her inside to more closely monitor. i set her up in a 55 gallon tank with about 8 inches of cypress mulch...
Just took some pics of Squirt in the new Tortoise pen. don't worry folks I was on the outside of the pic waiting to grab Squirt soon as the shot was taken. As you can see my 13 year old daughter was struggling. Oh they grow up so fast, one day a cute little baby then next thing you know they are...
Here is an updated pic on the Aldabra and Redfoots new home. Got the fencing up this weekend and also included a pic of part of the inside. I added linoleum to the wood floor (for protection from moisture) and covered with mulch. You can see the divider between Squirts section and the redfoots...

Been a while since I posted here. Squirt made it outside this weekend to enjoy a nice 85 degree day in the sun. Love it when he/she mows the lawn! Yes the summer dog house is now too small and a whole new pen and housing is in the making.
Thought I would share a pic of our Aldabra. He/she is around 13-14 inches straight length and was born sometime in 2006.
Squirt is the name and eating and grazing all day is the game!
