Just trying to figure out what type of tortoise we have here? So that we may provide proper care. Thank you

Definitely a yellow foot. Top of the nose tells it all.

Thank you. The store I bought him from doesn't usually sell yellow foots, so I'm completely thrown off. Going to have to change my entire care strategy now. I just hope the past few weeks haven't hurt his development in anyway. Sure is a cutie !

Definitely a yellow foot. I'm sure of it. Prefrontal scales(scales on it's nose) indicate it's yellow foot and not a Redfoot. Same care really. Keep I warm 80-90 and very humid. Offer lots of hides and a substrate to burry into. Coco coir or peat moss is always good. With some sphagnum moss layered on top. Medium UV lighting. I'd go with a tube 5.0 bulb. Feed variety of things from greens, to proteins like boiled eggs, snails, etc.. You can visit the red/yellow foot forums here and also check out thetortoiselibrary.com for great Info. They can get quite large but over a pretty long time. Around 10 years old they can be 13-17".

Nice yellow foot. I have a Redfoot and a Cherryhead Redfoot. Your yellow foot is the same thing so the care sheet is the same. Pm me if you have questions and I can help you
