Great job and effort Greg! Hopefully he will live a long and happy life. Frank

Sorry about your losses. My first thought is that the older one you got may have been kept with other species of tortoises and contracted any # of bacterial or viral diseases. Then transferred it through feces contamination to others. 3rd still not showing symptoms as of yet. Necropsy and...

I am looking for exceptional Brazilian tortoises over 5”. They must have extremely good red color on head and legs. Also, would like good marbling. Hoping to put together a world class group. Price determined by quality and size. Contact Frank @ 540)522-7418 or [email protected]

I agree with Jack. Trying to maintain pure Bolivian bloodlines is essential to avoid what has happened to most redfoots.(except some of the over 30 year old specimens) since people had one type but not a pair, they paired with another redfoot to produce offspring. However, now we have mostly...

Me too! Can’t believe I was wrong after seeing the egg pics but... congrats Frank

I am looking for 2 adult female Brazilians with exceptional red on legs and head and have decent marbling. Willing to pay top dollar for the right animals. Frank [email protected] 540 522-7419

Just came across this post. The eggs pictured were fertile and appear to have died at about 1.5 months of incubation. This seems to be due to a power outage however, could have been caused by a # of reasons. Anything from incorrect incubator parameters to bacterial infection in the adults

By the way these are Bolivian and Brazilian eggs.

Thanks for the new post. I was just wondering if putting the cover on plastic shoe box is better for humidity levels even if my incubator holds at 85% well

Hello everyone, Has anyone experimented with whether or not to loosely covering individual clutch hatching trays? My incubator, which I made from a new drink cooler keeps the interior at perfect temp and humidity for incubating types of redfoot eggs. Is there any benefit to loosely covering...

You would be wise to get a male cause Julio is definitely Female

Then, given that and what I see... all females. MHO. Still I agree with most on here that they are still a bit immature to be certain.

I only have 45 years into the torts but I am seeing all females. # 3 has best chance of being a male later. My question is; have any of them started to show a concave plastron?? Frank

Zero pilot, thanks. Yvonne, I just found out today that a Brazilian female I bought last year was one you sold to Terry as a yearling. Frank

Trying to get platinum membership however, using card instead of PayPal but site is telling me to go through PayPal. Frank [email protected]

Hello everyone, I am in need of 2 additional female Brazilians. I really need them to have exceptional red on head and legs. Some Marbling would be nice. I have begged AllegraF to sell some of hers( fat chance) or help me find some like hers. I have some very nice pens and a Brazilian group...

Hello, everyone, I have been searching for 2 adult female Brazilians for some time now. I really need exceptional red on face and legs and some marbling would be nice. I have begged allegraF for hers(fat chance) or some help finding specimens like hers. Paying top dollar for the right animals...

Zaidi, it is a cherryhead and tail appears female but anal opening appears male. my guess is male. any indentation in plastron yet? is the bottom of shell showing any concavity?

I am praying that all the TFO members, friends and their animals made it through the bad storms with minimal damage and stress. Frank Dombrowski treefrog01 virginia

the best and simplest explanation of Phenotype and Genotype I ever heard was from when I showed dogs in the ring. Phenotype was explained as being how close to the accepted "standard" or known qualities of that species or breed the individual APPEARED to be and Genotype was how well that...
