I got my Brazilian Cherry Head from a breeder on Kingsnake. He was in a sock too. I sat on my porch from 9 o'clock waiting for him. I was so nervous that the package would be left up side down. He came at 11 am. I was surprised to see him in the sock, but he was OK. I know lots of people with Redfoots, but no one I know has a Cherry Head. Please post pictures when you get him.

Yes you do Terry..

I don't really know anything about tortoises yet, but that really does not seem like a safe way to send them at all! Poor little guy. Hope he is fine when he gets to his new home! Can't wait to see his picture!

I just got an email from the guy who sold me the Brazilian. He shipped him this afternoon (3:30) from Oregon...he is supposed to be here around 10:30 am tomorrow morning. He told me he put him in a black sock for shipping!!!! Sad

. I don't know about most people but I sure don't like the sock technique. If he gets turned upside down he won't be able to right himself. Not to mention I've received torts shipped that way before and when they got here they were covered in poo!! I sure hope he gets here earlier than 10:30!

And, by the way, I wonder why most people buy Redfoots....(whatever kind ??) and not Cherry Head's (redfoots). At least that is how it seems to me.
