Red foot tortoise type?

[Derich Raymund A. Cabrera]

Hello! i acquired my red foot tortoise a few months ago. he's still about 3-4 months. i was told that he was a red footed tortoise but after seeing all the different types of red foot (northern, southern, cherry head, etc.) i'm not sure anymore. i hope he's not a cherry head since they tend to grow a little smaller compared to the regular red foot. can anyone shed some light as to what type of red foot my tort is? thanks!!

I don't know what locality type, but I'm sure it's not a cherryhead. See if any experts can help you. @N2TORTS @Turtlepete @allegraf

That is a very nice northern. Looks like a Colombian to me but I'm not so familiar with the northerns, the true expert is @tortadise . Kelly? Thoughts?

Please remove any labels off the grocery store items you feed your tortoise. If he should happen to bite off a piece of that plastic label it may cause a problem in his intestines.

Does look like like a northern. The Cloloration seems consistant of a Columbian. Can be quite difficult to be 100% certain at this size though. Nice looking specimen.
