Default More Cherryhead Info

On emergence from hibernation this Redfoot dumped an egg. This was taken moments after she dropped it. I usually find them at the bottom of the hill.

This tortoise is about 12 inches SCL...

It's been explained many times in the past but here it goes again...

When winter hits... the animals being the reptiles that they are... slow down to the point of being extremely lethargic.

I take advantage of this by placing them in a comfortable hide box and place this in a cool dark room for a few months.

When the weather warms up outside... they are taken out and place in their respective enclosures... the Sulcatas and Aldabras went out today.

(Paul... are you reading this?)
