For Dr. Cosmonaut

[Yvonne G]

Maggie has been hounding me to post pictures for Jordan of his tortoises, Millie and Gerty. If you don't remember, I have the tortoises for a bit while Jordan (Dr. Cosmonaut) is on a teaching job in (I think) China. So I thought I'd also take this opportunity to ask all of you redfoot officianados if you agree with Jordan that these are two females. I think the bigger one is male. I think Millie is the bigger one and Gerty is the smaller one. Millie has a big scooped out plastron, a pointy gular, a big tail and the anal scutes are different from Gerty's.

And if you'd like to re-read Millie's and Gerty's excellent adventure during spring break a while back, here are those links:

Thanks so much Yvonne, I sent the link off to Jordan. I think he's in Singapore...

I'd really like to know their sex, I wish someone would chime in here...Redfoot Nerd? Madkins?

Hello! Thanks so much for posting some pictures! I've really been missing my... girls? I hope they are behaving ^_^

I'm in Singapore... Almost China Lots of Chinese people live here.

Sorry I haven't been around much at all. Its a lot harder to connect since I'm working 10 hour days and in a new country and all. But I'll be back this year, so expect things to change later on

Miss you all! And a big thanks again to Yvonne and Maggie!!!

PS Millie is the bigger one

The big one to the right looks like a male (tail and plastron), but the tail on the left one is not visable enough on the picture to even guess ?

Sorry for the late response. I wondered what had happened to Dr. Comonaut. Pretty neat.
Anyway, the larger animal is clearly a FEMALE and the smaller tortoise on the left also appears to be a female too. Don't let the tail and the slight concavity to the plastron fool you...female red-footed tortoises often have somewhat long tails and indented (but nothing like a male) plastrons.
A photo taken a little closer would be nice.

I love Singapore!!!! My favorite asian country.

What are you teaching them as English has been their first language for at least two decades. Just curious.

Do you like the non stop heat and humidity? Bet your tortoises would.
