This is my couple of Yellowfoots tortoises. In the first picture there is the male, in the second there is the female. I have taken them February 28th 2009. I hope they are fine.
;)
Thank you so much...
I prepared for them an indoor enclosure of 200 x 80 cm. I'm preparing the outdoor enclosure too, with a lot of plants.

I will send you the pictures of my couple as soon as I will take them...

The female
this is the adult female cherry head (captive bred)
Sorry, I didn't read HermanniChris' question.
I live in a small "village" (130 km far from Rome), but now I'm living in Rome, because I'm studying here, at University. I have some tortoises and turtles here, and the others at my home. My father helps me to keep them. I come back home 3 days at...
