Hey gang, so I just wanted to make a post to see what all of your thoughts and reasons behind getting/keeping torts? Why you chose to keep redfoots, whether that's your only species if you do keep a variety, what propelled you to keep redfoots?
I don't currently own a shell baby but I'm taking steps to getting one and I've got my eyes set on the redfoot. For me I love all tortoise types but Iam drawn to the medium/larger species. One of my reasons is my location, I live in Tennessee which tends to have some pretty humid summers, but as of late our winters have mid 30s and we've seen as low at 14°F this year. At least where I'm at. So my thoughts are a tortoise that can spend the most of the year outdoors and then come into a converted shed indoor enclosure for the winter. We only have 1.5 acres and about half is woods and steep down hill. The other thing is I find them beautiful. Dark but with spots of flashy color. Essentially narrowing me down the redfoots, I love a good Sully but I'm just sure I'm comfortable with keeping such a big dozer of an animal in what is essentially .5 acre yard.
Any what lead you to get a redfoot?
