    New large adult female redfoot, some questions

    Thank you Tom! I hope so too! Thanks all of you for the conversation. Hopefully she perks up soon. Here in San Diego these chilly days and nights will be gone soon and she can spend her time outside and not in her heated enclosure most of the day. My two sub adult redfoots just go in and out...

    New large adult female redfoot, some questions

    Its tail doesnt look anything like my other male redfoot which is super long and thick and almost goes to its legs on each side. I wish i could get a better photo but she is so shy right now. I was looking to find out if her behavior is normal being that ive almost had her for two weeks. Now...

    New large adult female redfoot, some questions

    I dont think so, when her tail is out it is short and the cloaca is large. This picture makes her look concave. I will try and get a better picture tomorrow

    Hello, I recently got an adult female redfoot. The gentleman told me he was selling it for a widow that split it from a male that was a breeding pair. The widow sold the male, and then asked him to help sell the other. No idea if this is the truth or not but I decided to buy her and give her a...

    Redfoot escape

    My male redfoot escaped my yard today. I am devastated. The yard has one flaw and the stars had to align for it to happen and it did. He escaped from a fallen piece of fence board that allowed him just enough leverage to climb over and through the fence. I put him outside for some sun for a...

    New Leopard Tortoise

    I am looking for an education here, what exactly makes it no doubt its a male? The Tail or the scutes? Ive just seen so many photos where sometimes they look similar, or the anal scutes change as they age? Thanks!

    Can I get some help sexing my redfoots?

    I am actually unsure to be honest. I bought these two guys a few weeks ago at a local pet store. Normally I would never do this but I saw these animals there and they were not selling, and i decided to give them a good home. The person working said they thought they were 3 months old, I know...
