Recently, my herd took a step backwards and two forwards!
I sent my female (hopefully) mottled/marbled Brazilian (Numa) to Turtletary to join his breeding colony of these beautiful Red-foots. In return the deal was to be a young Northern Red-foot and an option on a future Brazilian hatchling.
Working with Terry was, as I expected it would be, a pleasure... until I opened the shipping container. Instead of the one expected tortoise, I discovered a tiny surprise!

Rana (the bigger one) and Quip (the tiny one) are doing well, eating great, and holding their own against the 'giants'. My kids were flabbergasted to find that the tortoise they bought me on January '07 (Mylo) started out this tiny!
Terry's photos show the subtle brown and orange colors better than mine do- especially on Quip.
Thanks again Terry!
