I'm a contraband dog handler. -Matt

I don't see it the marbling. I've never seen any marbling on one that isn't a cherry-head before. Where are you guys seeing it? -Matt

Here is one of mine as Geochelone_Carbonaria mentioned. She's an older girl, in her late 30s. She has no red on her at all. This female has a little bit of orange on her legs, but no red at all on her face. -Matt

Yellow-foots are very sensitive tortoises. They are generally shy in nature and tend to stress easily. Wild caught individuals seem to be extra sensitive and I always advise against purchasing one from the wild since they die easily. Yes, like bobbymoore said, they can lay infertile eggs. -Matt

Looks like a female. I have one that is roughly that size and bought her as a hatchling. She is about 8 years old. -Matt

Yeah! It was really nice meeting you today as well. I'm glad you like that little leopard, he sure is pretty! -Matt

I'm glad you like him! He was the first that I've ever had with split scutes, they're kind of interesting. I have about 4 or 5 more that I'm waiting on to hatch, shouldn't be too much longer. It was nice talking with you the other day, don't be a stranger! -Matt[hr] He was born roughly two...

All three females. We're not looking for tail size, more than we're looking at how close the cloaca is the the tip of the tail. -Matt

I had some like that laid earlier this year. None of them were fertile. -Matt

I wash all of mine under the faucet. I mark them with a pencil and put them in the incubator. I've never had any problems with it. -Matt

Awesome! Thanks man! I'll definitely let you know. My wife and I will be at Lake Fork this weekend, but maybe during next week we can do something. -Matt

Marcus, you need to come see him sometime. -Matt

This guy decided to surprise me and hatch a little early. Seeing the world for the first time! His sibling hatched last week. -Matt

It's going to be infertile unfortunately. -Matt

That happened to me a couple of years ago, I kept it for a while for fun. :) -Matt

You know, I always turn to Youtube for this kind of stuff, but I honestly didn't think I would get help for this. Good idea, I'll try it. -Matt

I like it because it doesn't clump up on the eggs. I've noticed that I got a lot of mold while using the other vermiculite. -Matt

I just switched from Android to iPhone recently. I downloaded the app, which I think is awesome, but I can't figure out how to post a new thread. Can you also load pictures from your gallery? I'm basically transferring my phone photos to my photobucket account, then copying and pasting them...

This girl is like clockwork. Seems that she lays a clutch every month from July to January. It was a bit cool when I found her digging this nest, so I hung a heat lamp over her while she finished up. Seemed to work, she laid 5 nice eggs! Jeff, this is the fine grain vermiculite I was...

I will bring my red-foots in if it gets below 55, but only if it's below 55 for several nights in a row. Here in Texas, the temps fluctuate so much. They are incredibly cold tolerant, but I still don't like to chance it too much. I think of them like they are batteries. If they're warm during...
