TORTOISE DISCRIPTION:

  • Common Name: Redfoot Tortoise
  • Scientific Name:Chelonoidis Carbonaria
  • Current Size: 10CM
  • Average Adult Size: 12-14"



    • 1. General Identification**

    The Redfoot Hypo Tortoise is a color variant of the Redfoot Tortoise, characterized by **hypomelanism**, a genetic condition that reduces melanin production (dark pigment), resulting in lighter, brighter coloration compared to standard Redfoots. This morph is highly sought after by reptile enthusiasts for its unique appearance and docile temperament.

    **2. Physical Characteristics**

    - **Coloration**:
    - *Carapace (upper shell)*: Pale cream, soft yellow, or light orange with faint or nearly absent dark patterning.
    - *Plastron (lower shell)*: White or pale yellow.
    - *Skin*: Vibrant red or orange hues on the legs, head, and tail (a hallmark of Redfoots), though muted in hypo variants.
    - **Size**:
    - Males: 12–14 inches (30–35 cm), females slightly smaller at 10–12 inches (25–30 cm).
    - Adult weight: 20–28 lbs (9–13 kg).
    - **Distinct Features**: Dark eyes (unlike albino morphs, which have red eyes).

    **3. Natural Habitat**

    The Redfoot Hypo Tortoise is not a wild subspecies but a selectively bred morph. The original Redfoot Tortoise inhabits **South America**, thriving in tropical rainforests, humid savannas, and warm climates with high humidity (70–80%).

    **4. Behavior & Temperament**

    - **Social**: More tolerant of conspecifics than many tortoise species; can coexist in groups.

    - **Activity**: Curious and exploratory; enjoys soaking, burrowing, and hiding under vegetation.

    - **Diet**: Omnivorous, feeding on fruits, leafy greens, flowers, fungi, and occasional protein sources like insects or carrion in the wild.

    **5. Captive Care Requirements**

    - **Temperature**: 80–90°F (27–32°C) daytime, 70–75°F (21–24°C) nighttime.

    - **Humidity**: 70–80% (requires regular misting).

    - **Lighting**: UVB lighting is essential for calcium metabolism and shell health.

    - **Diet**:



    **Unique Appeal**:

    The Redfoot Hypo Tortoise’s striking pastel hues and interactive personality make it a prized specimen among collectors. However, their care demands attention to humidity, diet, and UV exposure, making them better suited for experienced keepers. With proper care, they can live over 50 years, serving as a long-term companion for dedicated reptile enthusiasts. - Fruits (papaya, mango, berries), vegetables (collard greens, squash), and occasional protein (boiled eggs, earthworms).

    - Calcium and vitamin D3 supplements recommended.

    - **Enclosure**: Minimum 4x2 ft (1.2x0.6 m) for adults, with moisture-retaining substrate (coconut coir or sphagnum moss).

    **6. Reproduction**

    - Lays clutches of 2–8 eggs per breeding cycle.

    - Incubation period: 120–150 days at 84–88°F (29–31°C).

    - Hypomelanism is a recessive trait; both parents must carry the gene to produce hypo offspring.

    **7. Conservation & Legal Status**

    - Redfoot Tortoises are listed under **CITES Appendix II**, regulating international trade.

    - Legal ownership often requires permits or certificates, depending on local regulations.

    - Always source from reputable, licensed breeders to avoid supporting illegal wildlife trade.

My wife and I purchased a pair of male And female baby giant Aldabra tortoises from tortoise town last May. They were such a pleasure to work with, gave countless care guidance and assistance with enclosure setups I just can’t thank them enough. Our tortoises came on the morning we scheduled and they’ve been active, healthy and growing fast. I would buy an Aldabra tortoise for sale from Tortoproject farm again in a heartbeat. I really think tortoise town is the best Aldabra tortoise Breeder there is. Keep up the great work TT
