Yes, this is my tortoise 🙂

You have now.

Do you have any pictures of it face on, So that we can see the scalation on the forelimbs? And also of the plastron?

Subadult Albino Redfoot

Long awaited update.... I have successfully incubated and hatched two eggs. This is a pairing of the female Leocata and a male Sulcata so to save on confusion they are being referred to as "Sulleocata's" (sulcata x leocata hybrid.) This also proves the point that this particular Leocata is not...

Well you never know. If they come to anything, there are couriers who transport animals all around the world. I usually post any progress with eggs on my Instagram (same user name) so you'll be able to see if/when they hatch.

Yes, she's with a male Sulcata and I am currently incubating the eggs.

She's doing very well. Is approximately 18 inches in length and has laid eggs for the first time this year.

They were both 7 years old. The female is approximately 9 inches in length and weights around 2200 grams.

This is fascinating! I would love to know the answer to this as well. Is there a possibility that they are part of the same clutch but laid in three intervals, a month apart each time? Or possibly the first clutch went through a stage of dispause and the others didn't?

I have moved 4 on to a friend but I am keeping the first 2. I'm sure there are other breeders in the UK producing stars! Attached are the two I have kept.

They were incubated at 30°C and approximately 80% humidity.

Doing very well, thank you. As are the 5 hatchlings that followed!

New life has emerged after 97 days of incubation! 14 grams and my first ever star hatchling...

Correct!

I have a yellow redfoot. Haven't come across another one though.

Thank you for your response! It is such an unusual and amazing Tortoise! I have all 3 of its siblings as well. One of which has green eyes, which i feel is unusual as well. I would love to see the pictures of the axanthic from last year. This clears up as to whether it is a hybrid with a star...

This is interesting. The siblings from the same clutch are all normal redfoots.

I personally think either redfoot x Indian star or redfoot x Burmese star.
