What about this one.. thanks to Jackrat!

[Redfoot NERD]

This morning at 11:30 this happened -

Why did I take a pic of the FedEx guy bringing me a package? Mainly because I don't usually get deliveries... I get calls saying that the package arrived from me - and you'll see half of the reason in a minute!

Last year I met Jeff and "passed the torch" for him to continue the bloodline from ( he calls them ) Quagmire - the calendar child - and Knobs - one of my female breeders raised up from a 1998 hatchling. And he has done a great job with them! Partly because of the environment in southern AR.. but mainly because he took that "torch" and did all of the right things that he learned from one who prefers to remain anonymous and lucky me.

I encouraged Jeff to create a website and he posted some of his hatchlings created by Quag and Knobs - I wrote back and said I want "that" one!

Here's "that" one -

Can you believe "that" redfoot tortoise hatchling???

He even has colors on the back of his front legs!

How's this for redfoot "EYE-CANDY"..... huh? What more can be said?

Jeff has done a great job.. don't ya think?

BTW.. there was a second one in that box too.. more on him later.

THAT one is amazing!

That is one awesome little dude!! Congrats to you and Jackrat!!! Hard work paid off, he is gorgeous!!!

 

[jackrat]

You're too kind,Terry. Thanks for all the help you've given me. I do appreciate it. These two are typical of what I've hatched this year. Shades of color and head patterns are the only differences. The only truly different ones I have are two that have a milk chocolate colored carapace and brownish skin,with very subdued colors. Kinda odd looking, but they have really grown on me.

See? This is just another reason we need a section on the forum where we can list all the people who breed and sell turtles and tortoises. I didn't know about Jackrat. I'd much rather tell our members about him than about the breeders I know who are NOT on the forum.

I guess I'll have to start another EXCELL worksheet!

Sorry for the OT.

Very Nice Terry! .... Love the coloring ....Jeff you did well my fine sir~ Nice looking babies


JD~

PS, Terry I still have the two I got from you 2 years back ....

 

[Jacob]

Awesome!

 

[DixieParadise]

Nice color. Great job you guys.

I like the idea of the breeder list who are on the forum. I chose one from the forum and I did so, because I knew here that if I ran into any problems they would be around or someone would who could help me.

Did I mention..that I love this forum.. You guys/gals rock..all of you

Beautiful! I like his new website, very nice indeed! Outstanding pitures always.

 

[Redfoot NERD]

Thanks all.. Jeff and I are both in the process of posting "new" pics of our 2011 hatchlings! You will get more than you pay for.. a healthy beautifully marked redfoot and all the "hands-on" help you need from either of us.

Another great idea Yvonne.. go for it! This thread probly should have been in that 'section'! A place to leave "testimonies", etc.

BTW.. I'll get a few more pics of the 'second' one this evening. A sneak preview - { screamer? }

CAN YOU BELIEVE ALL THE PATTERNS/COLORS ON THIS BABIES HEAD???
