Thought on this little one

[StacieJ]

We received this little one today and were told it’s a Bolivian cherry head red footed tortoise. Wondering what your thoughts on as far as it being a cherry head.

I'm no expert but based on what I've learned, Cherry heads have a very dark plastron and an enlarged scale near the elbow. You can see both these things on this pic of my Cherry I don't see either of these characteristics in yours. I don't know anything about Bolivian though. I'm guessing, and it's just a guess, you've either got a nicely colored northern or a northern Cherry mix. Either way nice looking tort. definitely keep your humidity high to stop that Pyramiding that's started.

He has the Cherry head nose scale.
But light plastron and no visible "spurs".
I agree it might be a hybrid.
I've seen several lately.
Is the nose scale split? (I'm going blind)
I cant see very well on my phone.
Not a Cherry head. Just a beautiful baby.
How are the torts you got from me doing?
