Ive been waiting to get this little guy for awhile, apparently males are a little harder to get. This little guy is a male and only about 2 inches long. He has great coloring and should grow up to be an outstanding colorful tortoise. He is so active I could barely keep him in the container he was shipped in. He ate as soon as he saw a red hibiscus flower. He is the smaller of the 2 in the pic

Wow bigred! He's a handsome little guy. It's tough to wait so long for them to mature and then sometimes you just don't know whether it's a male or female. Good luck!

Thanks for the comments, its been quite an exciting last couple days here. One of my female redfoots laid 7 eggs yesterday and the other femal laid 5 eggs today. Both incubators are full for a total of 39 eggs:D
And to top it off I got this little guy which has turned out to be an outstanding little healthy guy. He is running all over the place and is not shy at all, he owns his enclosure already. I guess that is to be expected when you buy from QUALITY people that are on this forum

One of the camera drops was in Vegas and I was a little out of my mind so that one doesnt count. My wife said the same thing about the wrist strap
