The pet shop where the guy bought the tortoise probably had Russians and RF's in the same enclosure, and the sign said something like "Russians Redfoots"

It looks pretty darned good for the guy not knowing what he had or how to care for it.

Yeah, wow, nice and smooth! Would be cool if it was, but I think from the top it looks like a regualar red foot?

There is one listed in the Chicago area CL that says its a Russian Redfoot. However, it's just a Russian. Either stupidity on the owner or where ever they got it from.

Hahahah right ! I haven't seen any rare ones for sale at petco and I go to petco every now and then , they always have Russians , Greeks sometimes , they used to sell cherry heads but stopped doing it after they loose a lot of money because most of the ones they sold died
