Red Foot question
Ive had my redfoot for about a yr now was given him by a friend who couldnt look after him anymore as was going to uni.
He is about 5yrs old but has a bumby shell but has been in a table top since a baby. Is it okay that his shell isnt smooth? tad worried after seeing all the pics of red foots on here which have nice smooth shells. Any advise would be great. |

Its totally normal. The torts with smooth shells would have been wild caught. Captive bred torts are rarely in my experience totally smooth, so dont worry a little bumping is fine and as long as they have the right diet (weeds) and humidity then you are doing everything right x

I would not worry
Just make sure you offer a good diet with good supplements on
