@Glenda Cooper I'm so sorry Glenda- I missed this question you posted. Yes, Gibby is a South American redfoot tortoise. They come from various regions of South America, and can be quite different in colouration. They are lovely, sociable for the most part, and are considered "medium sized" pets compared to Sulcatas which are part of the "giant tortoise" group, and then there are the littler Russians, Greeks, and Leopards (although I've seen some pictures of Leopards that I thought were quite large compared to others of the leopard family...) Will you post some pictures of your enclosures and your little herd?
