Hello folks,
I wanted to start a thread on husbandry needs for various of tortoise species like REDFOOTS, HERMANS, LEOPARDS so on....
Many tortoise species exist in the world, with Russian Tortoises, Redfoot Tortoises, and Leopard Tortoises being some of the most commonly kept as pets. Adult size varies with species, and many can live 20-50+ years. Any potential new tortoise owners should research their species of interest extensively, as some grow to be over two feet in diameter, and may require large indoor and outdoor enclosures.
Share your views and photos of your enclosures, I am searching best BIOACTIVE design for my REDFOOTS. I like that Bioactive enclosures are made up of live plants and invertebrates that act as a self-cleaning waste disposal system. Bioactive enclosures are increasing in popularity among the reptile and amphibian-keeping communities due to the convenience they provide. What are the pitfalls of such enclosures? What materials and plants you find hardy and beneficials? What about 'Cleaner crews' like insects/invertebrates like:
Lets run with it
