Other then being sad it is not a yellow and had a poor past, so very happy it has a much better home.

I'm bummed it's not a yellowfoot as I had a feeling. But when I saw him I didn't care what tortoise it was, I just couldn't leave him, no way!!! However it was a great save!! Pretty bad condition he was living in I couldn't leave him I just couldn't do it! Now my husband is seriously not going to be too happy with me!!! But he'll get over itOther then being dad it is not a yellow and had a poor past, so very happy it has a much better home.

Thanks...he's such an active tortoise. I can't wait to post before and after pis of him!!You are SUCH a great person for saving this poor tort!!!!
Hi. You have the tort bug bad like me. So glad you took him/her home with you. How many do you have now? Is it male or female. The plastron is slightly concave and anal scutes in a vee shape, but the tale looks bulbous like a female and not long like a male. How long is its carapace.Thanks...he's such an active tortoise.

Well I love my babies!! I will take more pics when I get home tonight!Hi. You have the tort bug bad like me. So glad you took him/her home with you. How many do you have now? Is it male or female.

Ha, cant stop thinking how happy you must be.
Does this mean you have that many torts you have to have a recount when you get home. I'll help you, I'm going for 7.Well I love my babies!! I will take more pics when I get home tonight!
Lol!!!!!! I have 9 too damn many but they are all amazingDoes this mean you have that many torts you have to have a recount when you get home. I'll help you, I'm going for 7.
I believe there was, I'm going to search it up. However this is a redfoot. The prefrontal scales on the nose indicates a sure sign if it's a yellowfoot. This one has the redfoot scale markings I just got.Is there a thread that discusses the difference between yellow foot and Redfoot? Complete with detailed pictures? it would be very helpful for us clueless people. I can't tell the difference between the two types.
Any chance of a photo of its plastron so we can all have a guess at its sex before the vet proves me wrong. Oh and what was the name of the area you got him/her from. I think he/she looks nice and that beak will soon reduce if you give him/her some cuttlefish and feed off a slate, and send a photo now, cant't keep saying him/her all the time and I don't like referring to torts as IT. lolThanks Jacqui I love this new tort. I need a name for him, I think it's a him.
