Hello, just introducing myself, my wife and red foots. My wife and I started out herd 3 yrs ago. We purchased Flash when she was no bigger than a silver dollar. Her shell is now roughly 7 inches in length. We purchased 2 more red foots from a petco that basically clearances them because no one bought them. Quake has slight pyramiding, Mystique is slightly smaller with a smooth shell. A few days ago we purchased Frost. She is roughly 4 inches and the smallest with a weird design on the top of her shell. Pictures are in order: Flash, Quake, Mystique and Frost.
We are looking for a male red foot roughly the same size as our current babies. Thank you.

Hi and welcome!

Those are beauties, and I especially love the one with aberrant scutes.

Welcome. Fellow Floridian Redfoot keeper.
It's nearly impossible to sex tortoises at the sizes that yours currently are.
You may find that you already have one or more males.

A happy turn of events brought us Thor today. A friend couldn’t keep him/her. So we took the big guy in.
