I've been thinking about it and after looking closely at Moonpie's picture I think she is intact a yellowfoot and not a redfoot as petsmart claimed her to be.

Dana, do you have a picture that shows the top of her head clearly?

Yes there are a few in my introductory thread of her I believe where I re-introduced myself after I got her. I would give u another but it keeps telling me I've reached my attachment quota of 50mb

Yes I just checked the thread they are there. Her head is kinda narrow for a redfoot too

This thread is great for contrasting the two (I'm sure you've already seen it)

I can't tell from the pictures because the nose is a bit too blurry, but if there are two large distinct scales at the tip of the nose (as depicted in that thread - last pic) then you have a YF. If it's just one big colored scale, Petco was right. From the shell color and what I can make out of the head pattern/nose scale, it does look like a redfoot to me, but I could be wrong. Those nose-scales are the determining factor when I'm looking.

If you go to photobucket and upload your pics and copy the image url and paste it in your post, you can put pics in your post and they are not counted towards the 50mb

Well your right she is in fact a redfoot! YAY!! I was mostly concerned with the lack or red coloring in her head and legs cuz she doesn't have very many spots on her legs and they're all yellow. But that's cool cuz I wanted her to be a redfoot :p

If I delete the posts does it remove them from the forum?
