I'm a contraband dog handler. -Matt

I don't see it the marbling. I've never seen any marbling on one that isn't a cherry-head before. Where are you guys seeing it? -Matt

Here is one of mine as Geochelone_Carbonaria mentioned. She's an older girl, in her late 30s. She has no red on her at all. This female has a little bit of orange on her legs, but no red at all on her face. -Matt

Yellow-foots are very sensitive tortoises. They are generally shy in nature and tend to stress easily. Wild caught individuals seem to be extra sensitive and I always advise against purchasing one from the wild since they die easily. Yes, like bobbymoore said, they can lay infertile eggs. -Matt

Looks like a female. I have one that is roughly that size and bought her as a hatchling. She is about 8 years old. -Matt

Yeah! It was really nice meeting you today as well. I'm glad you like that little leopard, he sure is pretty! -Matt

I'm glad you like him! He was the first that I've ever had with split scutes, they're kind of interesting. I have about 4 or 5 more that I'm waiting on to hatch, shouldn't be too much longer. It was nice talking with you the other day, don't be a stranger! -Matt[hr] He was born roughly two...

All three females. We're not looking for tail size, more than we're looking at how close the cloaca is the the tip of the tail. -Matt

I had some like that laid earlier this year. None of them were fertile. -Matt

I wash all of mine under the faucet. I mark them with a pencil and put them in the incubator. I've never had any problems with it. -Matt

Awesome! Thanks man! I'll definitely let you know. My wife and I will be at Lake Fork this weekend, but maybe during next week we can do something. -Matt

Marcus, you need to come see him sometime. -Matt

This guy decided to surprise me and hatch a little early. Seeing the world for the first time! His sibling hatched last week. -Matt

It's going to be infertile unfortunately. -Matt

That happened to me a couple of years ago, I kept it for a while for fun. :) -Matt
