My new Redfoot!

I just got my new redfoot in. She (temp sexed, so hopefully will be a "she") was born this past Christmas day. I got her from Vicki at Tortoiseyard.com.

She is awesome! Still has no name yet....

fresh out of the box....



warm soak...



found her new hide already...



her enclosure...

REALLY NICE....tortoise and vivarium.

thanks, Larry. i can't hide the fact that i'm a tortoise guy at heart!

I hear that.
I know of no species of tortoise that I don't really like.
Looks like you're well on your way to having a great
collection.
Besides the Russians, do you plan to breed any of them ?

My wife and I are looking for an sub adult/adult female sulcata. She wants to breed them, it would be pretty cool do to that. I am also hoping I fall in love with this redfoot, I would love to have a whole herd of them also. Other than that, no other plans on breeding. I do however intend on getting an aldabra also...within the next 3-4 years I hope. I want it to get big while I'm still around to enjoy it!

I'm sure you're already aware of this, but you really need a Forest Hinge-back and a Pancake also.

Nice redfoot, Cameron.

Looks great!!!!

ah yes! how could i have forgotten! also a burmese mountain brown...

There ya go.

That's really a great looking tortoise you got there. The babies have so much color. And an excellent home to grow up in.

thanks for the kind words everyone. i will get some better pics in a day or two after she gets settled in a little better.

Very cool little tort!
Again, great vivarium setup Cameron! It looks very nice!!!

Nice tort man. I like the viv also. I think chris was saying he might have red foot eggs this year. I know he's trying.

updated pics from today!

Great pictures Cameron.
That last picture almost looks like a cherry head.

thanks larry! i looked around for a while before i found "her". she has some real nice red on her and her head pattern is nice too.

Super shots Cameron! Very pretty tort!

Thanks man, she is definitely beautiful. She's making me want a herd of them.

few more from her soak today...









think she likes pineapple??

Too cute. I love the last pic where your holding her up and the food is as big as her head. She sure didn't want to let go of it did she!

AWW! That is a really pretty turtle! I like the last picture too. Very cute!

Nice pics man. She looks great.

well unfortunately there will not be any more updated pics of this little girl. last week our neighbor's dog dug under my fence and got into my backyard. it ate the redfoot and chewed on the shell of a friend's tortoise that i'm watching. i was at work when it happened. monica called me and told me. if i was there, there would be one less dog in the world right now.

Man !!

I'm really sorry to hear that Cameron.
