[For Sale] Male Brazilian cherryhead ad thread

I have several Brazilian cherryhead males that I am making available for now. All are males with size. LTCs (long-term captives). Some 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 or already sold.

Prices will vary by individual animal as well as payment method. Shipped prices are higher than in-person prices.

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.

LTC adult male Brazilian cherryhead #1

Male is approximately 10" straight carapace length. LTC (*very* long-term captive). Its shell suggests it was imported as a juvenile and then grew out further in captivity in a pen with more exposure. Age unknown.

Good red coverage on the head. A good bit of residual marbling/variegation on the shell, which tends to darken with age and shows more when the shell is wet.

LTC adult male Brazilian cherryhead #5

Male is 11.5" (plus; maybe even 12") straight carapace length. LTC (*very* long-term captive). Age unknown.

Biiiiig boy. Total bruiser male that rules his domain. That is not to say he lacks tolerance for others, but his personality is plainly "in charge". If he were in a dungeon game, he would be the final boss. *cue final boss music* The same aspects that make him top dog also make him extra interactive with the keeper. Sharp/bright red on the forelimb scales. A lot of prior red coverage on the head and limbs has likely been replaced with melanin (which happens on really old males). Some marbling/variegation history with indicators of that showing when wet.
