JUST adopted a redfoot

[tortoise5643]

I JUST NOW adopted the redfoot that I have mentioned in my previous thread. It was a steal at 0$. I hope it's a she. I am wondering if y'all can identify sex? She is very active. About 10 inches scl. Has a few bumps on her shell but still a cool tortoise. Not much color in the head, it's very unique. I am still driving home from the 45 minute drive it took. As soon as I get home it will soak her. I was wondering if quarantine period is recommended even if the tortoise hasn't seen other tortoises in years or is it just something you should always do? I will attach pics in a reply as I don't know how to do it any other way.

Yep. At 10" she screams female. Nice looking girl too! Quarantine is always recommended no matter what.

She may not have a colorful face but it is still gorgeous and wow - look at those bright red legs. Incredible find. Congrats!

After a long warm soak it turns out she DOES have a colorful head it was just caked in dirt.
