Hi! I just got my first tortoise this week. I have several other reptiles, but this is my first tortoise. She (he?) is a redfoot, about 5" long. No name yet, we haven't interacted enough for me to get to know her personality. :)
This is her:

Hi Tempest:

Welcome to the forum!! You're in good company here, as we have many, many redfoot keepers in our group. Take some time and go through our redfoot section and you'll see some very good pictures and get lots of ideas.

Ok, you asked for it... :p Very pic heavy. My snakes:

Scarlet, my redtail boa. She was my first snake, and is the least timid of the bunch. She's a pig with a crazy feeding response, and is growing very well on S (soon to be M) rats. She's about 1.5 years, and 3 feet long. She's in shed in this photo.

Samwell is my ball python. He's very shy, like most of them:
Bath time.

Nymeria, my Irian Jaya Carpet Python, hatched 5/26/10. I can't for the life of me get this one to take rats. She's stuck on mouse fuzzies, but won't strike at them, will only eat them if I leave them there and cover her enclosure with a towel:

C.S. Lewis, my Anerythristic Corn Snake, he's got a cute angel wing design on his head, about 6 months old:

Tiger Lily, Okeetee Corn Snake, got her as a rescue from a family that bought her for their 3 year old son :rolleyes: She was skittish at first because he would squeeze her because he didn't understand how to hold her, but she's calmed down nicely. She's about 1.:

Cute checkered belly:

Landshark, my Dumeril's boa. He's about 5 years old, and 4.5 feet. He's kind of pissy, so it was tough to get a photo:

The rest of my zoo

Other reptiles:
Terra, my Argentine Red Tegu. She's about 4 months old, 12.5 inches. This is the only shot I have of her, I'll get some more up soon:

And of course, my new redfoot up top ^. :D

Furry animals:

Davy Jones, my Domestic Medium Hair cat, about 6 months. He had conjunctivitis when he was a kitten so he would walk around with one eye shut, like a pirate. :p

Eve, my husky mix, snuggling with my boyfriend:

Cool pics. I got nailed by a Dumerils once. They can be nasty for sure.

Did you know that you have to hibernate your tegu every year, even the first, if you ever want it to breed? Straight from the strongly accented mouth of Bert Langerwerf himself.

Yeah, I have read that about tegus. Hibernation makes me nervous. :/ I picked a redfoot because they don't hibernate.

We added another member to our furry family yesterday, she's a little girl from a feral colony in Dayton. She's only 7-8 months and pregnant already. :( Hopefully we can have a healthy delivery and find homes for the kittens, then get this little queen spayed!
