I could only get photos of the peruvian yellowfoots, Burmese browns, and chacos. The pancakes ran off when I tried getting them in the act, so did the elongated. But love was in the air today.

What are the straight carapace lengths of your Peruvian yellow foot tortoises?

Those guys are 11" on the male and 10 1/2" on the female. Very very young still but the male is just starting his breeding. The parents to those guys were 90 pound female 26" and 108 pound male 30". I can't wait till they get mature and produce. They're 4 years old. I think they are awesome looking super orange.
