So great to see this thread still living after I started it over a year ago! Such beautiful turtle and tortoises you all have[emoji173]️[emoji7][emoji177]
This is what I would consider a high yellow Radiated tortoise to look like; just a little more yellow growth and golden coloring instead of the darker markings...but both are beautiful!
This is a beautiful pattern! Even if it is debatable whether this individual should be considered "high yellow", the markings are stunning nonetheless. Radiata of this quality coloring and pattern are pretty hard to come by in my opinion.
She has been battling a bad on and off infection because she has a "hooded vulva" which means she has an unnecessary layer which traps traces of urine in the flap of skin causing bacteria to grow. So, we have to clean her with baby wipes every time she pees (she was having blood in her urine!)...
