I appreciate the info. I have followed a few of your posts and have seen ya post on Faunaclassifieds a number of times. Yeah I was aware of the term cherryhead just being a name. Why I was referring to the seller as having Bolivian or Brazilian. I might have learned that info from one of your...

Here are some photos of their heads and top of their shell. Their currently inside until later today or tomorrow. Has been around 50 degrees at night. So do Bolivans keep their red heads? I thought their heads turned yellow also.

Funny you say that. The guy that sold them to me 3 years ago started selling his cherry heads as possible Bolivian or Brazilian. Possibly what he has had all along yet when I look back at his posts a lot of the redfoots he has sold had marbling on the bottom but not all. I'll get you pictures of...

Yeah neither have concavity. I would have figured I would see a male showing himself during soaks. But nothing. I had one cherryhead actually smaller than these two that every soak he showed he was a male. Neither one of these have showed any thing. So I've been kinda stumped. Thank you for the...

I know. Don't ya love these threads. :P I have asked in the past and I have always gotten numerous responses of I have a male and female or two males or two females. Next month I would have had them for 3 years. Their carapace is about 8 1/2 inches. Once one comes up for sale that I can find I...

Hey there again. So question about the hovabator incubator. I have the model 1602N. Just have the base model. Not with a fan. The base model is what I read about that seemed like most people had so I went with it. Any ways so there is a number of vent holes around the bottom edges of it. I have...

Hey there all. So I have posted here once before. I mainly lurk over in the red foot forums. I have had a male sulcata for 20+ years probably. This past January a friend of mine gave me one of his female sulcatas. My friend had his females separated from his males for the winter but all during...

I thought I had already did this. But evidently not. Thank you for all your replies. :)

Hey there. I've only posted in the redfoot threads but here I am with a question. A little back story. I have had a big male for about 25 years now. Used to have two but one passed of unknown causes many years ago. So I'm up in Virginia and have my big male inside the house over the winter...

Hey there. Haven't posted in a while. Just curious on every one's thoughts in reference to the temperature getting down to the mid to upper 60's over night when it's in the 80's during the day, but it has also been raining on a regular basis so the outside enclosure has not been able to dry out...

One other thing. In case you were wondering what the corner area looks like. This picture was taken a week or two after completing the area. It is actually all over grown now. I even have vines growing up the back side of the enclosure where the pool is. Which I like. Makes it more natural...

Thanks every one. :) @TammyJ If you're talking about the pink tree to the left @cdmay got it right. It's a crepe myrtle. @BabyJack The bricks are lined up along that one wall because the wall doesn't touch the ground completely (it's about half an inch to an inch, it's to avoid the wood...

This is what I have. Be gentle, first time building some thing to that size by myself. :) Built it this summer. The last pic is my four cherries eating cut up pinkies. The top and left one are from a different place then the right and bottom one. I put the cover over because it would get so hot...

So for those of us that live to the north. At what temperature do ya'll bring your redfoots indoors? The other day it rained here for about 24 hours and so it stayed in the 60's. I went ahead and brought them inside since it was cool and wet. Which I always go on the side of caution since those...

I have put plastic garden barriers that are about 4 inches tall completely into the ground all the way around the enclosure. So there is no digging out. I didn't want the wood to go into the ground except for the posts due to rotting the wood. But yes I have put brick inside the enclosure on one...

I currently have a weeping willow outside the door. It's currently 10-12 foot now. But it won't give much shade for at least another two years I'm guessing. It's grown about 4 foot since last year. I was gonna go out this morning and get a shade cloth actually this morning to put on top of the...

Hello all. So I recently have built a enclosure in my backyard. It's still not finished but it's getting closer. I will have 4 Cherryhead Tortoises in there. All for are about 6 inches down their carapace. I live in Va so it gets cold in the winter and hot and humid during the summer. I'll keep...

One of my tortoises threw up a while back and his stool was loose. It was after feeding pieces of a hard boiled egg. After a day or so he was perfectly fine. Evidently it did not agree with him at all. I started feeding my tortoises pinkie mice for their protein instead. Haven't had the first...

So the bottom two are my original two their both 6 inches. The top two are my new ones. Some one about two hours away was selling them for half of what I got my first two for. The two new ones appear to be about 4 and a half and five inches. The two new ones are a bit more bumpy than I would...
