Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Alex what size are they.If they are on the larger end then the size of the tail would be the best way to sex them.Males have a very long tail and females will have a short tail.Ron

Redfoot tortoises are often difficult to determine the gender of until they are about half to three quarters grown. Some show much earlier but as a whole they can be difficult. A male will be obvious in comparison. It will have a tail that is much thicker overall and usually longer with the anal opening farther out from the body. A female will have a tail that is thick at the base but much shorter with the anal opening closer to the body. It's difficult to tell anything from you photos because they are too far away. A close up would be needed of the tail areas and the approximate SCL of the tortoises.

Alex your tortoises seem to be pyramiding badly. try correcting their diet (more greens, and fruits) soak at least twice a week and keep a high humidity level in their enclosure.
