Redfoots in NC?

[Falcon70]

Hey everyone,

I'm just wondering how a Redfoot would do in North Carolina in hopes that one day in the far future I may get one. I think they are just such a beautiful tortoise and an awesome size.

The air is driest around mid April, with the relative humidity dropping below 45% three days out of four; and it is most humid around mid August, exceeding 92% three out of four days. Overall, in the summer, it's pretty humid.

The warm season lasts from Mid May to Mid September with an average temperature above 81°F (July/August this year has been around 90-102). The cold season lasts from early December to mid February with an average temperature of about 57°F. Once it hits February, it really starts getting warm again

Thanks,

Jake

Doesn't sound like a bad place for them. With the right stuff, any tort can be kept any place, pretty much

Thanks for the response, I feel like heat would be easy to control, and even though I'm not too familiar with the species the summer humidity here seems like it is high enough.

Heck, if I can do them in Omaha, you can do them there!

I keep two in Maryland and they do just fine. You'll have to bring them in for the colder months, but they'll do just fine otherwise

Haha that's kind of funny, I'm originally from Boston so that's where all of my family is. Well, thanks for all the replies everyone, good to know that someday it's a possibility
