    Shell Rot?

    Bumping this thread guys. Due to a very busy and hectic schedule at the meantime, I was only able to apply foot cream on the infected parts twice. I noticed that the color of the "infections" was initially/originally like ivory white, and earlier today I saw it was turning into a flesh color...

    Shell Rot?

    Thank you, Pfara! I will keep everything that you've said in my mind. I'll apply foot cream tomorrow on the affected areas starting tomorrow. Been busy lately with my thesis that's why I still need to buy the cream tomorrow. :( I am really mentally stressed that this happened to my Flash, I hope...

    Shell Rot?

    Thank you for your response, Wellington. Could the reason be dirty/unchanged substrate? When I got him and set up his enclosure, I put coco peat on the flooring inside his cave/hide. And I always keep it sort of damp. For the treatment, I'll buy a cream for Athlete's foot that is used for...

    Shell Rot?

    Hi fellows, I just noticed today that the shell of Flash, my Brazilian RF had some changes in its shell. Can you confirm if it's shell rot? I have 3 other RFs aside from Flash and they are in diff. enclosures, Flash is living alone in its own enclosure. It really made me panic when I saw...

    Short/stubby tail, I agree with Ascott. You should rename her to Jethra. :P

    Thanks, Jeff. :) I must admit, my tortoises are quite spoiled by me, can't resist them. :/ Yes, it is a humid hide. :) Just for clarification, your name is May or your tortoise's name is May? :)

    Moss identification

    Hi fellas, I was reading threads and have learned from others that sphagnum moss is a good choice for a substrate. So I went to our local seedling bank here and only found one type of moss, I asked the sellers if they know what kind of moss is it but only got generic answers "It's moss...

    Marbling question

    Oh okay, I was thrown off by the outdoor statement but entirely my fault for misunderstanding it, JD. :D I clearly understand what you said about the white areas that it can change its hues depending if it's housed indoors or outdoors but the amount of whiteness does not increase due to...

    Marbling question

    Very nice marblings, JD. :D So you mean to say that housing them outdoors will be a contributing factor for the marbling? He will be staying at our patio that has tiles on the ground, but I will be setting up a garden fence at one spot that is to be his outdoor enclosure. And coco peat will be...

    Marbling question

    Hi guys, Just want to ask something regarding the marbling of the shell. I just acquired a Brazilian RF today and was fascinated with its very minor marblings. I'm just curious, does the marbling increase/spread as the tortoise and its shell grow? Due to my fascination and appreciation of how...

    Normal RF or Cherryhead RF?

    Thanks for all the feedback, everyone. So both are normal redfoots and they are both non-cherries, right? :) At first I thought that Chili was a cherryhead because his/her head is kinda orange red. For the one on the right which is Mayo. I can take photos of her plastron tomorrow, it's almost...

    Normal RF or Cherryhead RF?

    Hi, I have 2 young red-footed tortoises here and I have no idea how to identify their subspecies whether it is a normal RF or a cherryhead RF. Maybe someone can help me get some clarifications regarding the subspecies. :) Chili Chili(left) Mayo(right) Chili's plastron

    The Spiky One

    Yes, a serious case of pyramiding. :( Maybe it's because I designed and gave it a different enclosure and it did not meet all the tortoise's needs.
