Orange Hypo Redfoot Tortoise for Sale – Vivid, Rare & Full of Personality

Looking for a tortoise that turns heads? The Orange Hypo Redfoot Tortoise is exactly what you’ve been searching for. This unique morph takes the classic Redfoot and kicks the color up several notches — swapping red highlights for bold orange markings across the face, limbs, and shell.

At Kingsman Exotic Reptiles, we offer captive-bred Orange Hypo Redfoot Tortoises for sale with guaranteed health, clean genetics, and raised under optimal conditions. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned keeper, this tortoise is an absolute showstopper and one of the most rewarding reptiles to raise.

🐢 What Makes the Orange Hypo Redfoot So Unique?

The Hypo (hypomelanistic) gene reduces dark pigment, letting those fiery oranges and yellows pop even brighter. Combined with the personable nature of the Redfoot species, this morph is both visually stunning and easy to bond with.

Unique Features:

• Bright orange leg scales and facial highlights

• Lighter, golden-brown shell (carapace)

• Reduced melanin for a more vivid appearance

• Peaceful temperament

• Active and curious — especially around feeding time

This isn’t your average pet tortoise — this is a living piece of art.

📏 Size, Age & Color Info

The intensity of the orange coloration deepens as they grow — especially when fed a balanced, carotenoid-rich diet.

🥗 Diet & Nutrition – Keep That Color Bright

Orange Hypo Redfoot Tortoises thrive on a diverse, omnivorous diet. In the wild, they nibble on fruit, mushrooms, flowers, insects, and leafy greens. In captivity, mimic that with variety.

Ideal Feeding Breakdown:

• 60% greens – dandelion, collard greens, escarole, turnip greens

• 20% fruits – papaya, mango, banana, berries (no citrus)

• 10% protein – boiled egg, earthworms, pinky mice (1–2x monthly)

• 10% veggies – squash, carrots, sweet potatoes

💡 Pro tip: Carotenoid-rich foods like papaya and squash enhance their natural orange glow!

🏡 Enclosure Requirements – Keep It Humid, Keep It Happy

Redfoots, including this morph, come from humid, tropical environments in South America. Your indoor or outdoor habitat should mimic that with warmth, humidity, and lots of hide spots.

Indoor Enclosure Setup:

• Size: 40-gallon minimum (juvenile), 6’x3′ for adults

• Humidity: 70–80%

• Temps: 75–85°F ambient, 90°F basking zone

• Substrate: Coconut coir, cypress mulch, or sphagnum moss mix

• UVB: Required (T5 HO recommended)

• Lighting: 12-hour day/night cycle

• Water: Shallow soaking dish + misting daily

They love to burrow, so give them soft, moist substrate and logs or hides to feel secure.

💗 Behavior & Temperament – Social and Smart

One of the best parts of owning an Orange Hypo Redfoot is their curious, friendly personality. They:

• Recognize their keeper

• Respond to voice and touch

• Actively explore their surroundings

• Rarely show aggression

They’re also quiet and low-maintenance, making them an excellent tortoise for households, schools, or even small apartments with proper enclosure size.
