[For Sale] Female Brazilian cherryhead ad thread

I have several Brazilian cherryhead females that I am making available for now. All are females with size. One is a CB subadult. One is a CB young adult (may or may not be fully breedable just yet). Four are LTCs (long-term captives). Some of those LTCs are *very* LTC (in captivity longer than many people reading this are old) and some are "only" LTC (in captivity longer than the ages of children of many people reading this).

Each will be individually enumerated to make advertising simpler for me. Each individual available will have its own post in this thread. If you find a gap in the numbers, that is because an animal with that assigned number has been held back instead of being offered for sale.

These can add diversity to a group, enhance a specific attribute (color of the scales or something like marbling/variegation) in a project, add volume to a smallish group, or be pets. However, even if you view these as pets, I encourage you to breed them instead of taking their genes out of the larger market. Outflow of healthy animals from diverse lineages within this kind of locality-focused project helps other breeders maintain or improve healthy lines of their own and they can then go on to continue offering offspring of quality to people who want a single tortoise as a pet. Pulling a good-quality adult out of breeding circulation removes its contribution to its species in captivity. There are times when removing an animal like that is the way to go. For the animals I am listing here, it is not the way to go, so keep these making little ones, please.

Eating what cherryheads eat. If you do not already know how to care for a Brazilian cherryhead, these animals are not for you.

Adult female Brazilian cherryhead #4

Female is ~9" straight carapace length. LTC (*very* long-term captive). Age unknown. Ones like this are why some people call cherryheads "dwarf" cherryheads (they are not, but that is a long story less appropriate for advertisement).

Masculinized with age (if you do not know what that means, it is that the tail becomes larger and the plastron develops a light concavity for some females if they have been alive for a long time). Big, dark eyes. Beautiful smoothness. The head has dimmed with age, but appears to have been bright red originally. Crazy old marbling/variegation history (shows best when wet).

Young adult female Brazilian cherryhead (#6)

US CBB

8.5" scl

There is a good amount of color on the neck. Color on the neck and lineages with color on the neck are useful for stepping up the quality of future offspring in a project. Significant marbling/variegation on the shell. Decent forelimb color around the elbow area. Not a bad choice for an "extreme" project if you have an extreme male or a male that is known to produce extremes.

Subadult female Brazilian cherryhead (#7)

US CBB

7.5" scl

Has split scutes. There is a little color on the neck. Color on the neck and lineages with color on the neck are useful for stepping up the quality of future offspring in a project. Some marbling/variegation on the shell.
