I'm re-posting these pictures so that they can be used as a sticky thread for faster viewing.
Differences between Geochelone Carbonaria (red-foot) and Geochelone Denticula (yellow-foot).
Dorsal view of male red-foot on left and male yellow-foot on right. Notice hourglass shape of red-foot.
Ventral view of male red-foot and male yellow-foot. Note wide anal scutes, concave plastron, and long tail.
Front view of males. Note scale coloration on legs.
Dorsal view of female red-foot on left and female yellow-foot on right. No hourglass shape.
Ventral view of females. No concavity on plastron, semi-circular anal scutes, and short tail.
Dorsal head view of red-foot (left) and yellow-foot (right). Red-foots have a single prefrontal scale at the tip of the nose, while yellows have two large prefrontal scales running parallel to one another.
Please add anymore information for others who want to know more about the differences between the two species.
