Some new Bubba shots

[Xastur]

Well Bubba has settled in nicely into his new home.. when i first got him he was doing everything he could to try and escape but now he has really taken a liking to his new home. Everytime he sees me he "bolts" ( as fast a he can for a tortoise) towards me because he knows its grub time. I'm still working on his previous shell rot but here are some pics of him grubbing out today.

So cute. Love how you serve him on a plate

Great looking tort, glad he is adjusting well.

Thanks guys, just a question though is Bubba a Redfoot or is he a cherrhead.. I know a plastron shot would be of great help but i'm at work right now with no access to my pictures. The reason i ask is if i do end up getting a female i want to make sure they both are the same species so i don't muddle up the genes if they do breed.

Bubba is beautiful! I love the pretty plate too, I used to feed my tortoise on something similar with pink flowers but she used to try and eat the plate thinking the pretty colours were food. Bless her, she's a little slow at times...

Haha yeah im thinking about putting a tile there and putting the food on top but as of right now i watch him as he devours his meal just to make sure he doesn't get a little paper fever =)

I don't know enough about redfoots to give you a good answer, however, most of the Cherryheads I've seen pictures of, had very red heads, and your tortoise's head is yellow, so I would assume he's NOT a cherry head.

Nice specimen how old is he?

I don't know he was found by my friend wandering his front yard. He posted pics on his facebook and i quickly called him and told him i would be over in a sec to take him in. I built him his pen and the rest his history =).
