That is good to hear. Like I said if it starts to worry me too much I may just take him out and he should perk back up.

He's about a year and a half old now. I always figured that he'd just come out and look for food if he really wanted it so hopefully it isn't a big deal!

I've noticed my redfoot likes to every once in a while dig a hole and then poke his nose out and stay there... For days at a time. My question is, should I be concerned about him not eating or drinking in there. How many days should I wait before intervening. In the past I just dig him up and...

I'm thinking just a light sensor is all I need, but I'm really kind of having trouble finding don't that works in reverse from a night light. And I'm not much of an electronics genius haha

So I've had this idea/dream for awhile to make my little guys lighting as realistic as possible. (Washington state just doesn't afford the opportunity for much real outside time) Basically having his enclosure light come one when the sun comes up and go off when the sun goes down. This goes...

Wellington, that's easier said than done because I have a four foot double bulb fixture over my 4 ft by 2ft enclosure so any hole would basically make my efforts to improve humidity basically pointless haha

I have a redfoot tortoise and I want to make the terrarium she's in more enclosed to boost warmth and humidity, however I don't want to expose my light fixtures to that moisture. Are there any clear materials out there that I could use for the top of my enclosure that would still allow the light...

I was thinking it might be shell rot. Ill have to see what the others say though. And I have researched treatment plans too.

What's going on here with the shell? It just doesn't seem right...

This is great. You really meant it when you said this thread would last for years! Very cool experiment!

How long should I wait after fertilizing my law to put my little Redfoot out for some sun and a graze? Bags usually have information for dogs or children about application wait times but I worry the small size of my tort might warrant a longer wait time.

Look at Russell Wilson go! http://youtu.be/jAtK_qDqdsY

I am just wondering what proactive things I can do to prevent, and stop any current shell rot in the damp environment that my tort lives in! Thanks!

That's so funny! Not really remote control... Interesting that scientists want to remote control turtles too haha.

I really need to work on a better closed system for my Redfoot! Good job!

Very interesting!

I just don't know whether to believe that lol. Lots of folks also say torts can't swim, soooo.

Haha yes they do live in areas like brazil! And yea I was very hesitant to try it. My friend just decided to try it on his own first so I felt better about it! [hr] I did actually fin this on YouTube just now though haha! And I saw videos of sulcutas too. http://youtu.be/HxbAglDko7c

Some day I hope to breed Redfoots too!

So tiny! Very cool!
