Buy Yellow Footed Tortoise

Each yellow footed tortoise for sale is provided the best possible care by our loving staff. The yellow footed tortoise can get to an impressive 30 plus inches in length and weigh over 70 pounds.

They are the fifth largest tortoise in the world and can live a very long time in captivity. Their habits and diet are similar to that of the ret footed tortoise.

Our yellow foot tortoises for sale are well started, healthy specimens that are housed under optimal conditions and make great pets. They are provided the best possible care by our loving staff.

A slow-moving and docile creature, yellow-footed tortoises can do quite well in captivity. However, you need to provide the necessities in order for this to happen!

Appearance & Colors

It’s easy to mistake the yellow-footed tortoise for its red-footed counterpart at first glance. They are both large reptiles with gorgeous shells! However, yellow-footed tortoises are distinct in their own right.

Their massive shells, while still oval in shape, tend to be wider and more rounded. The carapace is usually yellowish-brown with shades of dark brown on the edges of individual scutes.

Like other tortoise shells, the scutes are ridged and feature a raised center in pale yellow, orange, or light brown.

The skin is dark brown or black. Brighter markings of yellow accent the head. Meanwhile, the limbs and tail feature bright yellow scales, hence their name!

The head is longer than it is wide. These tortoises also have an upper jaw with three points, which makes them easier to identify.

The forearms are sporting five claws. However, the hind legs are flatter, resembling the legs of an elephant.

Yellow-Footed Tortoise Care

Yellow-footed tortoise care can be a rewarding once-in-a-lifetime experience. But, these animals can also be a handful at times!

Large reptiles of this size are usually best for seasoned herpetology enthusiasts. That’s because they have a lot of distinct needs you must cater to.

Here are some important care guidelines you shouldn’t ignore.

Enclosure Size

You have several ways to house a yellow-footed tortoise.

Most owners will keep them indoors to make temperature management easier. However, if you live in a warm and humid environment, you can also keep them outdoors.

For indoor housing, these tortoises do best in large tubs or turtle tables. For young hatchlings, you can get away with an enclosure that’s as small as two feet wide by three feet long.

But once they reach adulthood, they need an enclosure that’s no smaller than eight feet long by four feet wide. Yellow-footed tortoises aren’t big climbers, so the walls of their home only need to be about 12 to 18 inches tall.
