[marrufamar]

My eyes can't cacth differences about redfoot's subspesies, because its look similar to me... LOL

Any thoughts on the "yellow" red foots supposedly from Columbia? I have 2.2 of these. Two of them only have yellow markings and two have orange/yellow markings but none have any red markings.

One of mine is quite yellow.

My yellow guy has peach on his legs rather than red. Very nice color.

This picture makes me think of something I once read about pug puppies: "They're so cute they should be illegal."

Utterly adorable!

Trust me they use their cuteness to their advantage! My tween kids ate Raman noodles for dinner the other night while "the babies" dined on fresh organic kale and mango. LOL

These are full blood Guyana hatchlings. These guys were left in the greenhouse and hatched out of the ground.

At what size or age of my torts I can know the region they are from???

It's pretty difficult at any size to tell which nation they derived. However we can ID which clad they are. The bigger the better. 7-8 years of age is best.

 

[DobbyRed]

Ahh okay so I need some time, mine are 7 months, 3yrs 7months and the new one Fang is a size in between so probably like 2yrs.

 

[tortadise]

Yah the bigger the better. However though lots of times they are inter graded which makes it very difficult. Most of what is in the US is northern clad(Venezuela,Guyana, Suriname), eastern clad(cherry heads) and northwestern(Columbia)

 

[DobbyRed]

Ahh okay. I live in Puerto Rico and Dobby and Fang were bought on Petsmart so probably they come from the US but Hedwig the little one is localy born here from a local breeder. But she looks like Fang the only differance is that Fang is an all yellow redfoot and Hedwig have some orange red in her legs.
Dobby is all orange.

I have one male Brazilian that has an ever so slight hourglass shape. Definitely not to the same extent of the northerns though.

.....Here are some Brazilians X charryhead....little more color than what I normally produce. Vic emysbreeder

Brazilians X Cherryheads? They are usually referred to as one and the same. Are they Brazilian/Cherryheads crossed with some other locale of redfoots?

Kelly - this is incredibly helpful to me. I have a 1.5 year old baby, Gibby, who is round and flat, top and side views respectively. My other two recently-adopted rescue rf's are very "oblong" and very, very tall, top and side views respectively.

I started a thread somewhere else the other day, asking people if my round, flat little guy has problems because he is SUCH a different shape. Now I see here this is a matter of natural gene pools that have developed regionally.

This thread is very informative and comforting to me, worried that Gib was malformed because he's so broad and flat.

Thank you for all your very valuable contributions to this community in particular, and for your general contributions to the body of rf knowledge too.
