🎨 What is a Hypo Redfoot Tortoise?

The Hypo morph in Redfoot tortoises is a naturally occurring genetic trait that reduces melanin, resulting in:

• Brighter pastel yellows and oranges on the legs and head

• Lighter shell scutes, often golden or blonde

• Overall softer, cleaner tone compared to normal Redfoots

This morph is not only visually unique, it’s also very limited in availability. Most breeders produce only a handful of Hypo Redfoots per season.

📏 Size, Age & Morph Info

Whether you’re a beginner or a long-time tortoise enthusiast, a Hypo Redfoot offers show-quality looks with beginner-friendly care needs.

🥬 Diet & Feeding Routine

Hypo Redfoots have a varied diet that’s easy to maintain. As omnivorous tortoises, they thrive on a combination of greens, fruit, and occasional protein.

Daily Diet:

• Dark leafy greens (collards, mustard, dandelion, kale)

• Vegetables (squash, carrots, pumpkin)

• Fruits (papaya, mango, banana, strawberries) — 2–3x/week

• Protein (boiled egg, earthworms, Mazuri Tortoise Diet) — once weekly

• Calcium supplement 2–3x/week with vitamin D3 indoors

Always provide clean water in a shallow dish and soak hatchlings 3–4x per week in lukewarm water for hydration.

🏝️ Enclosure Setup & Heating

Hypo Redfoot Tortoises are native to tropical regions of South America, so they thrive in warm, humid environments. They do well indoors when young and can move outside in proper weather.

Indoor Setup (Hatchling – Juvenile):

• Enclosure Size: 3ft x 2ft minimum

• Temps:

  • Basking zone: 90–95°F

  • Ambient temp: 78–82°F

  • Night: 75°F minimum

• Humidity: 70–80%

• Substrate: Coconut coir, sphagnum moss, organic soil mix

• Lighting: Full spectrum UVB (T5 HO preferred) + basking bulb

Outdoor Setup (Adults):

• Secure, predator-proof pen

• Warm season access (spring/summer in most U.S. zones)

• Heated hide box if nighttime temps drop below 70°F

Pro Tip: Add live tropical plants to the enclosure to boost humidity and create naturalistic cover.

🐢 Behavior & Temperament

Hypo Redfoots are among the most social and interactive tortoises in the reptile world. They recognize their keeper’s voice, respond to routine, and are often seen approaching for food or attention.

✅ Perfect for families, classrooms, and solo hobbyists alike.
✅ Gentle around children (with supervision).
✅ Active during the day and very curious.

You’ll often catch them exploring their enclosure or basking in their favorite warm spot, especially after a good misting or fresh fruit treat.
