Redfoot tortoises.. from South America.. do not "hibernate".. they breed "almost" year round.
Egg laying starts in early August thru early March sometimes.
With an incubation cycle of 120 - 150 days.. there is little break in the incubation process.
Note dates and names at bottom of individual pics.

Receipt for "BREEDERS"..

Found this the other day (11/01/05).. they will have their 8th "birthday" soon .
I'll see if I can find early pics.. before digital! Notice date of receipt..

(I really had no idea what I was getting at the time)...


Robert's is no longer in the reptiles business... An old friend!!!

Ha-Ha-Ha... I found them!!!.. maybe 4-5 inches.. 2 - 3 years old???.. I forget!





I believe these are the earliest pics that I have.. that show their size..
it's hard to imagine that they were ever this small!
Actually they were really much less than half this size when I got them.. and now they are making babies.
(Pre-digital pics scanned)

My alpha Guyana is known as "Sonshine".. a beauty that is now approaching 13"..
and will probably continue to grow for a few more years..



And this is her first hatchling since I have had her.. see how RED??



Sonshine and another baby.. in the sun..



And the alpha "Guyana" male that has produced his share of the hatchlings..



See why these "Colombian" and "Guyana" hatchlings are so gorgeous??
