Adults should be housed in a spacious indoor enclosure or secure outdoor pen in warm climates. Maintain ambient temperatures between 78–86°F with a basking area of 90–95°F, and keep humidity between 70–90%. A deep, moisture-retaining substrate such as cypress mulch or coco coir works well. Provide access to a large water dish for soaking and plenty of shaded hiding areas. Their diet should consist primarily of dark leafy greens, weeds, vegetables, mushrooms, and occasional fruit, with a calcium supplement offered regularly. UVB lighting or natural sunlight is essential for proper shell and bone development.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFacts:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNative to the tropical rainforests of the Amazon Basin in South America.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYellow-Foot Tortoises are more tolerant of fruit in their diet than many other tortoise species, though it should still be offered in moderation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eWith proper care, they can live \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e60–80+ years\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, making them a lifelong commitment.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"AquaTerra Exotic Pets","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47169685160092,"sku":null,"price":399.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/4474\/1020\/files\/348E87AD-5F5D-46C4-A8A9-0678C969B417.jpg?v=1783465514","url":"https:\/\/www.aquaterraexoticpets.com\/products\/amazon-basin-yellow-foot-tortoise","provider":"AquaTerra Exotic Pets","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
