Hello

[Dutch]

Hi to everybody,

I just joined TTF and want to thank everybody for this wonderful site with all the information and advise. I just recently acquired 2 RF's, Bonnie & Clyde. They are both babies, one is about 2.6", from a pet shop, the other about 3", some one had to re-home it... Let the addiction begin!
I'm following Turtletary's care sheet, and all is wonderful. The only question I have is in regards to indoor enclosure plants to keep the humidity. I found a lot of contradicting info when I did my research as to which ones are fine and which ones are poisoning. Any suggestions?

Thanks, Dutch

Welcome to the forum Dutch!

Well, basically any kind of plant, maybe somthing like a fern or little palm. What I have so far is a spider plant, hen and chicks, a petunia and I put in a fresh pot of dandelion each day, which is eaten quickly

This are some of the first pics, the enclosure and decoration has changed. I took the pics with my cell, my camera is currently not working, but better ones will follow.

I have Hermanns so I do not know a lot about the redfoots recquirements, if you post pics of your enclosure in the enclosures section, I am sure someone will be able to help you.
I really like the list on Anaspid.org http://www.anapsid.org/resources/edible.html
Spider plant is not toxic but the leaves can be a skin irritant, Hen and Chicks and petunias as ok, dandelions too. I saw on a lot of sites that some species of palm are toxic but I did not find anything about little palm, is there a specie name to the palm or is it "little"? On tortoise trust web, it says that some wild species of fern are toxic.

Here is another list that I like http://www.tortoisetrust.org/articles/houseplants.htm
