I recently took in a 13in female yellowfoot tortoise from a fellow forum member. I originally had not planned on getting into the species, but when I saw her I couldnt help but take her home! I have never owned a yellowfoot, but from what I have read they are extremely shy. In that case I think this girl missed that memo becuase she will walk up to me and let me take nice pictures of her!

Here she is, Zenia.

Here is her enclosure, it is about 40ftx8ft. During the winter time I am going to add lots of plants, a pool, and heated shelter.

She is so beautiful and I hope to find her an equally handsome mate in the near future, but as for now she is just a wonderful pet, and a great addition to my "collection"!

Thanks everybody!

John, you have successfully made me very jealous with all your beautiful redfoots and the marvelous hatchlings they produced, and now you hustle me with this gorgeous yellowfoot with a heart-melting personality!?

You're killing me, man! :p
