Known for the warm yellow or orange markings on its legs and face, this tortoise stands out for its vibrant look and laid-back demeanor.

Whether you’re just getting started with reptiles or already a tortoise lover, adding a Yellow Footed Tortoise to your family is an experience that brings joy for years—often, decades—to come.

What Makes Yellow Footed Tortoises So Special?

Native to the lush rainforests of South America, Yellow Footeds (Chelonoidis denticulatus) are built for life in warm, humid climates. They’re medium to large in size, growing up to 18 inches long, and can live for 50 years or more with the right care.

What truly sets them apart is their temperament. These tortoises are generally gentle, quiet, and slow-moving. Over time, many grow to recognize their keepers and will calmly walk over for food or a gentle touch. Watching one explore its enclosure is surprisingly relaxing—and never boring.

Plus, they’re one of the few tortoises that can thrive with a bit of fruit in their diet, thanks to their rainforest roots. That means you’ll enjoy feeding time just as much as they do.

Raised Right—Healthy, Happy, and Captive-Bred

Every Yellow Footed Tortoise for sale on our site is bred and raised in a safe, responsible environment. We never sell wild-caught tortoises. Instead, we focus on quality care from day one—healthy diets, clean enclosures, and proper humidity and lighting ensure your new tortoise is ready to thrive in its forever home.

Before shipping, each tortoise is carefully checked to make sure it’s eating well, active, and showing healthy growth. That way, you can feel confident that your new shelled friend is in top condition from the moment it arrives.

Easy to Care for with the Right Setup

One of the best parts about owning a Yellow Footed Tortoise is how straightforward their care can be once their habitat is properly set up. They prefer moderate humidity, warm temperatures, and a spacious enclosure where they can roam, explore, and burrow a bit.

Whether you plan to keep your tortoise indoors or in a secure outdoor space (weather permitting), creating the right environment is simple with a little guidance—which we’re happy to provide.

With access to clean water, leafy greens, occasional fruit, and proper UVB lighting, your tortoise will stay happy and healthy for years to come.
