Hi everyone, my name is Megan and I got my first tortoise ever about 2 weeks ago. He is a yellowfoot and the rescue guy I got him from thought he is about 7 years old. I named him Roland and I am totally smitten with him. His carpace is 9" long. He has a saddle shaped shell, and I don't know if it was an injury or improper husbandry that caused it. He is doing great and absolutely loves grapes and mushrooms. He is a great eater and has been enjoying kale and collard greens in addition to various veggies and fruits. I am very happy yo have found this forum, and I hope more yellowfoot owners join (there is so much info on redfoots but not so much on yellowfoots). I'll add some pictures for everyone.
