Red foot tortoise enclosure question

[kpugh]

Hi there!

Maybe I'll introduce myself before I post - I'm new to this forum. I run the Saskatchewan Reptile Rescue - basically we just handle turtles. I currently have a bunch of RES, a pair of Western painteds, a mississippi map, a malaysian box, two eatern boxes, and a new baby Red foot tortoise (my first tort - I'm very excited!).

My parents also have a baby redfoot, and the question comes from my mother: she wants to plant some live plants her tort's house, and wants to know what sort of plants are safe, and what a good source for non-chemically treated plants would be. Or maybe a trustworthy decontamination regime? I told her to stay away from live plants for the time being - until we can find some safe species and sources - just to be safe.

Any advice is appreciated!
