Firstly I would like to agree with the article about redfoot races. I've always been very OCD in the respect to keep each redfoot I have acquired to be part of a breeding group but that of only the same origins they came from. Over the past 12 years I have found that some of my own research does back the theory of being different sub species. I have also found this to be true with my yellow foots. The Guyana have only been able to produce from Guyana or Suriname locals. Venezuelan have only been able to produce from Venezuelan ( at least in my attempts of breeding) Brazilian same as Venezuelan. Can't breed them with other redfoots. Bolivians and Paraguay never successfully hatched outside breeding with other redfoots I have tried in my collection. The same thing with my weird country origins redfoots (Trinidad,grenada,uruguay,Argentina,Peru,costa rica,panama and Honduras.
My suriname/Guyana yellow foots can breed and produce but not TNT Peruvian or columbian with any of the upper options.
I was wondering if anyone has kept detailed "species" or country local specific red or yellow foot torts like I have and had different successes?
Any thoughts anyone.
I'm thinking definitely There needs to be more classifications of sub-species as im a huge believer and have tried to cross breed even bordering country redfoot and have not been succeasful.
