Recently got a phone call from an old friend who informed me that he had sold his house here in south Florida and was moving to California. Because of the move he had decided not to take two male Colombian red-footed tortoises that he had obtained from me back in 1986. One of the tortoises I had hatched seven years earlier--1979. The second was the son of the first and one I had produced around 1984 or 1985.
Both had grown two be enormous specimens for this particular race.
The first male, named 'Jivaro' measures 15.5" SCL and the second, 'Franklin' measures 14.5" SCL.
Here they are...
First is Jivaro
Then Franklin. You can see the resemblance to his father.
Jivaro eating floss silk flowers. His head is the size of an average person's fist.
