This tortoise is WILD CHILD.
He or she was named that because she happened to hatch and go about on her own out in my enclosure for at least 4 months without me ever noticing that she existed
She must've foraged for her own food during that time and has only now spent less than 72 hours indoors and has been outdoors here in south Florida about 3 years now.
She shows hows ideal our climate is for a Redfoot with her smooth shell growth.
However. She still isn't RIVER ROCK smooth like a wild caught import. So it's likely that it comes down to diet.
This result still doesn't make for a perfect carapace.
But it's a nice one.
