i have a redfoot too... i'm not sure if i'll be burying it or not, probably not tho... i plan on drilling small holes around the bottom for drainage... i think i have that prickly pear cactus growing in my yard, but i'm not 100 percent that it is prickly pear, is there any kind of cactus that is bad? thanks

: I have recently setup the outside enclosure for my juvenile red foot(Terpsy) and have included plants like: Rose of Sharon, Hostas, Zinnias, Impatiens, Clover, Dandelion, Coleus(sp?), and some unknown plants that came in a "savannah grazing mix" that came with some opuntia pads that I got in the mail.

: You shouldn't run into any problems using dirt from your back yard, provided that what you said is true(no pesticides, fertilizers, etc.).

: Sounds like you have a good plan, the baby pool idea works great, if you are burrying the baby pool you may want to cut a hole in the center for drainage.

: What type of tortoise is it? I'm planning on setting up a baby pool setup for my hatchling red foots... you can see a picture of them on my previous post entitled "New Additions"
