I live in Central Florida. After doing some research, I noticed that one of the most commons mistakes is not having enough humidity (80%) in the enclosure for Red-Footed tortoise and other species. Our AC is running around 72-69 F from 6pm-7pm to 6am-7am. After that the house is kept at 76 F. Is it suitable to keep a red footed or even other specie in an indoor space? Will this habitat work? If not, could you please point me in the right direction? What other things should I be... Read more ..read more

Hello, I am new here. I was wondering if anyone could help me. I have a Hermann tortoise, who is about 5 years old I think. I’ve had her for about 3 years now.

Unfortunately I did some more digging today and found this forum He mostly deals with tarantulas so that community is more familiar with him.

So I came to this forum because I became the dad of some baby Sulcatas and was looking for the best way to care for them (BTW they appear to be thriving so far). Well this morning this little dude (or dudette?) literally walked into my life, almost ran them over with my car! I brought it home and I’m in the process of finding the best way to care for them. I’m in Ohio so I believe this is a Midland Painted Turtle, haven’t dealt with an aquatic turtle since I was gifted with a dime store red... Read more ..read more

My adult desert tortoise has a clear runny nose. Yesterday I heard what I thought was a little grumbly breathing and saw one bubble come out of his nose. But today it’s just a runny nose.
