Red foot or cherry head?

[ZEROPILOT]

You’ll notice this northern has the 2 large leg scales that most associate to be an identification of a Brazilian. Another load of codswallop that Terry learnt me.

I just learnt CODSWALLOP!

IIRC 'regular redfoots' heads will turn more yellow as they age; While cherry heads will stay red and have a dark plastron, The breeder I got mine from claimed mine was a cherryhead but IDK.





If I had to guess I would say yours is a 'regular redfoot, but I'm no expert. I'm sure someone will correct me

I have one exactly the same & it's a Red foot because the markings on a cherry head is much more colourful & very red indeed, because when I was purchasing my tortoise red foots & cherry heads were placed separately & clearly the salesperson told me which were which. Maybe if the lighting or picture wasn't taken at a good angle otherwise it appears to be a red foot & yours is a male rom what I can see....

If you can post a photo of the nose scales and the underside of the tortoises shell (plastron) we can say for sure if you have a Cherryhead or not.
It has nothing to do with the Red coloration.
Many non Cherryheads are also bright red.
