New to forum, here's my story I
I iherited both of my torts from my niece who turned 13 and decided she didn't want them anymore.
Maho is a Hermann's that was bought at a reptile store when she was 11 so he's about 3 yrs old.
Cinnamon is a Red Footed and my niece "found" her by a lake and took her home.
She was about the same size as Maho at the time but she is twice his size now.
I took over custody of my torty kids almost a year ago.
I've seen that y'all love pics of torts and habitats, so here you go.

I should add, they live outside in my backyard and I live in South Florida

We had the planting areas already around the palms, so when we decided to take them it was perfect idea to just raise the sides and here we go!

I would like to know, especially with the Hermann's, really what to feed him? I get so many mixed messages about these guys. TYIA

Hello
Welcome
I'm also in southeast Florida. West Sunrise.
I also like your enclosure.
I keep my Redfoot herd in my yard also.
You should not have the two species together.
Your Redfoot can (and should) be eating things like fruit that will kill your Hermann's.
They are also both solitary animals that will do much better.....Solitary.
If this is possible, I very highly recommend you do so.
Let me know if I can be of any assistance.

It's probably not easy to see in the pics, but there are two separate ones, they are not together
