They look like A & C are girls and B is a boy. Their sex is not for sure, sometimes it seems like the tail grows 2" overnight! Or that "male" starts laying eggs.

Yeah, I had one of my "males" lay eggs a few months back. It can be a bit of a crap shoot when they're subadults.

Ohhhhh Zero....... you are going to have redfoots coming out of your ears haha.

Congratulations on losing/finding/losing your sanity as well as the eggs.

Let me know if you need a farmhand to move down for the winter.... I can pack the tortoises up and we can motorcycle Detroit to Florida!

Redfoot number A I think is a female.
It is very red. Is it a Cherry head and male or female?[/QUOT


Amazing coloring! It is a red foot because it's head is yellow, CH have red heads as adults. This is why they are called CherryHeads because of there cherryish coloring.

Just now spotted this thread. All I can say is NICE!
Looks like a trio of real beauties.
Thanks.
The male confirmed for me that the bumpier other tortoise is a female. I caught them this morning in an intimate moment.

I'm never right when sexing RF tortoises. I was sure some on a different thread were male and NERD came along and said they were all female. All my signposts are different in the RF species.

I've had Redfoot since 1988 and I still ask for help with ID
