Is this ok

[kball]

I found this add on craigslist that's is saying that someone is placing an order for a Brazilian cherry head and a columbian red foot. Is that ok because I was thinking about getting one and there so cute. But there not being kept in good conditions.

i'm not sure i understand what your asking is what ok? that they are placing the order?

No. Like if u mix different species. Like the radiated and sulcata tortoise. Does it matter if there this close in breed

 

[naturalman91]

personally a lot of use choose not to mix even if they are that similar i asked that same question once "can a normal red be housed with a cherry" some people said yes some people said they'd fight well i went back a little in the forum and found info on the exact question and to my understand cherry head males can be quite aggressive towards other males and it's best not to mix i've even read stories of one tort chewing anothers feet off no matter the species pair's are never advised it's cool if you want another tort i'm sure like 90% of us here want another but i'd separate them so they can each be the king or queen of there own castle again this is just my opinion

This is one tort it's a cross between the cherry head and the red foot. Not two different torts.

Redfoot and "cherryhead" are the same species.
