Hes Coming

[Defiant]

I finally found a purchased my new baby Cherryhead. Hes coming from Mark and Kim Bell of Reptile Industries. She is an awesome person to do business with and I would recommend them to anyone for many torts and supplies. Reptmart.com. Here is the picture of the one I chose. I will post more tomorrow when the little tike gets here.

(S)he's a beauty, all right!

How old? Good luck on the "new baby" sleep deprivation.

 

[Defiant]

(S)he is 12 days old they had all the hatchlings eating mazuri for some reason though. I have prepared salads I got ready today. It's hard to go to sleep I have tomorrow off and I'm so excited. (S)he is should be over Oklahoma about now. I've been watching UPS updates like crazy. I feel this tort is making me obsessive in some ways.

Congrats!

at least they're not feeding them garbage:\
Have you ever seen a redfoot in person? You'll love them even more! congrats
hmmm, are their yolk sack all absorbed?

Geez, it hasn't even arrived and you're already addicted...you should have read the warning label before you decided to try "just one"!

 

[Defiant]

Yes it should be absorbed by now she said she would email me again when she felt they were ready to ship. Got that email this morning and she shipped today. I have never seen a Cherryhead in person. Nor any other torts besides Galp, Aldas, my 3 toed and the poor sad looking russians in the local petco. I have the enclosure totally completed with a really nice humid hide which is maintaining 93% humidity inside outside the enclosure is holding 85% and goes up with the fogger on for about 15min. I found I needed to turn the fogger on every 6hrs or so to stay above 85%. Temps are holding very well also 71 on cool side and 83 on the warm side with the dimmer at half way. Ive done alot of testing the past few days.

I'm so excited for you Shaun! I know how much work and research you put into this and when you see that lil' sweetie, it will all be worth it. This is how the addiction starts...........

 

[DoctorCosmonaut]

Wow, very vibrant! Congrats! Be prepared to fall in love if you haven't already

I'll always remember the first PIP! CONGRATS..

Humidity sounds good.. actually redfoots don't need 'cool/warm' sides.. keep the ambient temps at low-mid 80's min.!

I plan to follow your caresheets very closely. I would love nothing more than my lil guy to look like some of yours. Although finding chicory is not going so well. The local supermarkets only carry mustard,collard,red chard, and your normal lettuces; butter, romain and iceberg.

Feed what you can that is in season.
Stagger's main source of greens right now is regular collard greens because it's about all I can find right now.
Once summer comes, he'll get a bigger variety like hibiscus and various other fruits and veggies that will then be in season.
Your tort will be fine on collards for a green source.
Even Terry would agree.
We've had the conversation a few times.
You can also add in some mushrooms (Stagger would do ANYTHING for a mushroom).
Congrats on getting your new RF!!!

Darling little buggers, ESPECIALLY at that size.
