Hi all! Found you guys while looking for info on my husband and I's new cherry head red-footed tortoise, Frank (he was sitting in his water constantly and went off his food briefly, deduced his heat was not high enough or in the correct location...he's back to normal now!). He's our first tortoise, and we've had him 3 days! I've had snakes, geckos, and frogs before, but my husband hasn't had any sort of exotic. From what we can tell, Frank is about 6-7months old, we got him from a pet store in town. He's in a 40gal container, cypress mulch substrate. We feed a mix of carrots, squash, and kale with banana and mango for a treat. Try to keep it about 83-85 on one end, and 75-79 on the other with about 60% humidity (hard to keep that up in Colorado!). I'm sure I'll be asking lots of questions and advice as we have him longer!
