I have seen thousands of red foots with their import documents pass through Miami in the last 22 years. Yellow phase really? Where and when? Best to all as always Douglas
They are different species. The most obvious difference at first is the redfoot has a solid scale on the nose while the yellowfoot has a split scale on the nose. They do share range in some regions with the yellowfoot inhabiting denser damper forest than the redfoot which prefers a more open savanna like habitat. That said they will share common areas and this where recognition behaviours come into play (there are apparently no hybrids in the wild). Personality wise my yellowfoot is basically the same as my redfoots.Chris Isom said:ok so now i have a question what exactly are the differences between a red foot and yellow foot?? are they basically the same just with different coloration?? or just from different regions? habitat and personality wise are they basically the same??

I'm guessing they'll be of a different race, though it doesn't seem like they've entered the pet trade in any high numbers. I've recently seen some from grenada popping up for sale on various websites and I don't know enough about them to say what makes them any different, or to even verify if they are from the Caribbean.
