Swimming Redfoot

[monkmonkey]

Check out this super cool video I saw (not mine). I never knew a redfoot or any other tortoise can swim. I tried this with my redfoot today but she struggles keeping afloat. Is this video typical of redfoots? What other tortoise species can swim?

Aldabras, gallops, sulcatas. Might be others I don't remember.

There's pictures of them swimming in this book, I believe, if not a couple of others specifically about red foots. Pretty neat

You can keep aquatic turtles dry too, just look at this result. http://www.tortoiseforum.org/thread-78945.html

Keep aware of an ability/adaptation versus a husbandry requirement.

Yeah?
