Yup, my baby girl named that one Phoenix. Both she and her 'sister' tort are still in their year long quarantine. She is by far one of the coolest cherries I have seen. I got the two of them from a local vet who raised them from yearlings. So far they are healthy and seem pretty happy.Whew, those are some screamers! I was interested by the yellow tortoise, is that one of your unique colored adults?
We are thinking radical and not selling any this year, but instead, keeping them all...and growing them all out. We(husband and I) are noticing that the hatchling's don't reveal their full potential until they reach about the year or so mark. Not sure on our course of action yet. We did hatch a few from Phoenix which look very interesting! Will keep everyone posted and will try to keep posting pics. Glad everyone is enjoying them.Allegra, will you have any of the orange headed morph available in the near future? I'd love to add a trio to my group...

I've never seen a yellow cherry head, very cool! Good luck with the retention this year! The four I have from you have marbled and changed their colors from 2-4 years of age. It will be interesting to see the progeny from Phoenix (your baby girl has a knack for names) and her sister, keep us updated!
Give Rambutan a treat for me if you think of it.
It is actually a cherryhead not a Colombian. Very unusual to find them this yellow.It's not a yellow Cherry head. Those are from a particular area of Colombia. They are being farm-raised (along with the normal form) as wild-capture is illegal there.
No worries, she is the most yellow cherryhead I have ever seen! Some of the old timers remember seeing all yellow cherries in the legendary shipment from the 80s of cherryheads from Brazil.My apology.
