A must read for the Redfoot or Yellowfoot tortoise keeper,
By
This review is from: REDFOOTS & YELLOWFOOTS (Turtles of the World) (Paperback)
What makes this book stand out from others is that it is written in a knowledgeable, yet easily understandable, manner. All aspects of the species are covered, and documented, with many great photographs.
Some very intriguing aspects are the distinctions between Redfoots from different geographical areas, the detail paid to husbandry, the lists of edible vs. toxic plants, and the very comprehensive suggested reading and resources lists. I highly recommend this book to those interested in keeping these tortoises. Both new and experienced keepers will find interesting and reliable information presented in a most palatable manner.

This review is from: REDFOOTS & YELLOWFOOTS (Turtles of the World) (Paperback)
I am privileged to know Ms. Ebenhack, and I rely on her input constantly in the care of my tortoise and reptile pets. This woman lives and breathes tortoises every minute of every day.They are her life, and her passion. This books is much more than facts, there is insight and a knowledge gained only by a lifelong commitment. I would say this book is a MUST for any red/yellowfoot owner, and absolutely necessary if you are thinking of investing in these wonderful, charismatic torties!
