I have three Russian tortoises and two Indian stars, which are only 6 months old and I have Mojave Desert tortoise that’s 15 .. yes, I geek out over tortoises💕
Awe I know tortoises live long so I did research on which tortoise would be perfect for me and red footed tortoises are I have years until I get one so they live prob around what 40 years that is perfect and they are so cute
How big is the mama and how much do these guys cost and could I house one in a 100 gallon and or a 120 gallon tank with a bearded dragon adult and he’s 17 inches big
The mother is about the size of a football. They would not be suitable to keep with a bearded dragon as they come from a tropical climate and require high humidity and soil unlike the dry arid set up of a bearded dragon.
Cherry heads are locality specific and these are not pure cherry heads. Yes they have the red heads but the male (father) is not a cherry head and the female is probable a hybrid as well.
They abandon the nest after laying so not typically would they eat a baby unless they didn’t have sufficient food. They would however eat the eggs if not buried properly.
That happened to mine for the first few clutches as well. Make sure to up her protein and that could help. If she's living with a male you can even separate them for a bit and reintroduce.
