The Caribbean island of Barbados has the oldest captive-bred stock of
Red-Footed Tortoises (Geochelone carbonaria) in the world, not endemic to
Barbados - they were introduced as upper-class pets by the English colonists
in 1850; and they continue to be kept as such today. There are no wild
populations of Red-Foots in Barbados, and the rarely encountered free
roaming specimens always prove to be 'escapees'.
Barbados Red-Foots are also the largest (because unlike in other countries -
Barbadians don't eat them) and the most colourful variety in the Caribbean;
with a high frequency of 'cherry-heads' and a less frequent occurance of
70-90% yellow carapace's (as can be seen in the juvenile at left in the trio photo).
Our 75 specimen breeding colony is the largest in the Caribbean
and is comprised of 50 10-14" females and 25 10-18" males - which
produce an average of 300 flawless hatchlings for us each year.
