Hello. I'm new to the site. I lurked for a while, but after reading the threads about different localities of redfoots, and then looking at mine, I became curious as to what mine was. So I joined just to ask. I'm not sure what he/she is, and it doesn't really matter to me, but I'm curious as to what others opinions are.
A little back round info... I bought Wilson as a hatchling at a reptile show, from a vendor that sold snakes and lizards. He was his only tortoise or turtle. I asked the guy if he knew anything about him and he wasn't even the owner, just working the stand. He guessed someone local to them traded or sold Wilson to them. I bought him because he was healthy looking, and the most unique looking redfoot hatchling out of about 15 different ones through out the show I looked at.
So I'll attach a couple pics and maybe someone more knowledgeable can take a guess as to what his locality may be? Thanks!
