Hi All. My name is Jessica. My boyfriend and I bought a red footed tortoise about a month ago. Her name is Kali and she is about 4 years old. She weighs about 1lb 6 oz and is about 5 inches long. It has definitely been a learning experience but we love her to death!! We are dealing with a bit of a mild shell rot problem at the moment but we have been treating her with Betadine and Lotrimin and it is clearing up wonderfully. The problem was that we were keeping her substrate too wet to keep up the humidity not realizing that her hide shouldn't be kept as wet as we had it. My only concern right now is feeding. It seems like she is always hungry but I don't want to over feed her. I spent some time today researching the feeding table on the tortoiselibrary website and I think that I have a good idea of what she needs now.
Well, I look forward to chatting with all of you about Kali and all of your pets! I will post some pictures of her soon! She's such a pretty little tortoise! LOL
