Hi all you RF owners, breeders and hobbyists.
I am taking care of a friends RF. I don’t know much about them other than what I have discovered through the forum and Redfoots.com and Turtletary.com
This is a young person who entrusted his prized possession and best friend to me. Its name is Turtle (sometimes he calls it baby).
I have s/his enclosure setup and what to feed them down pretty well, I think, thanks to Terry (Redfoot Nerd) and I have it saved as a hard copy if I need to quickly check up a thing or two. (No s/he will not stay in my closet or roam my house)
This Friend of mine has been housing this RF from the age of aprox. 3 months old in his closet and it has been allowed to have free roam of his room. He said he feeds it mainly Romaine and occasionally bananas or an occasional piece of apple or pear etc. Never any meat. He does occasionally let him roam in the yard. He tells me this RF is now 5 years old. I measured it and it is 12cm long, 8 1/2cm wide and 5 1/2 cm high and weighs 418 grams. I have posted some pics in hopes you can help me identify what type it is and if it is male or female. He would like to know. He told me he knows little or nothing about how to raise a RF but is willing to learn. I told him when he gets back in three weeks I will have hand outs for him from Turtletary.com., Redfoot.com and any other info I could gather for him in order to make this little tort a happy healthy long living tort. I appreciate any and all help.
Thanks in advance.
