The pair i bought finally got here and I am so excited! The coloration of the male is exceptional. They are going to be a great addition to the herd, they are currently in quarantine awaiting a good report from the the stool samples I sent to the vet.

The guy i got them from said that they were WC from the Guyana locality but that he has had them for about 7+ years and that he has treated them so hopefully they will be clean with no parasites or worms of any kind. The big boy is 11.5 in and the girl is 9.75. They are both very happy and active and i cant wait to see them when they are introduced to the rest of the herd!

look at the red on this guy!!!!

Thanks for all of the pics. They look really happy together. Hope everything turns out ok with the Vet, so they can get with the rest of your herd.

Both are quite nice. The male is exceptional and has the nice red color around the rear legs and tail that Surinam and Guyana RF are known for.
All around a very good pair.

Beautiful torts John. I can't get over what smooth beautiful growth they both have. They make a handsome couple for sure.

Those are beautiful but I must say the female also has a masculine looking face :)
