Redfoots heads are yellow/orange unless they are I believe Brazilians. Im sure you have a Redfoots if the leg scales are red. ;)

Do the 'nose scales' [ on the yellowfoot ] cover the nose like this Jasso2?..

Whereas the redfoot has the nose scale..

"arms and legs" colors can and do vary on both species. Nose scales are sometimes the best/only way to determine which species.

Well back to the same place I picked this one up tomorrow to meet up with someone who took in a young Redfoot from someone who was keeping it in a cardboard box in their garage. So I am picking this one up as well. What is it with this area? All but 1 of my redfoots have come from this area. lol Im talking a 3 block radius.

Good for you Anja. What would happen to all these poor animals if there was no one to rescue them....

Well Im afraid they are going to flake on me again, like they did on Tuesday. Its a 96 mile drive one way and Im glad I didnt go ahead and drive down then. I wont leave today without confirmation from them and a phone number. Ive asked for the phone number twice now, as they asked for mine in case they got stuck in traffic. I emailed again last night and asked them to confirm that we are meeting today and again for a phone number. Nothing back so far this morning.

You always seem to have to pay more for a "free" tortoise. LOL!

Indeed, well the guy JUST emailed and is leary of giving his number out. I would have needed to leave an hour ago to meet him so I think Im just going to say to heck with this one. lol It would have been roughly a little less than half a tank for me, so about $45 in gas.

It was the one that you sent me. He was just a little too flaky to me. We had originally planned to meet Tuesday afternoon and of course I didnt get a confirmation then either. Im giving up on this one, Im not going to chase him down.
