Beautiful! A friend of mine in Canada has a group of Venezuelan red-foots and they too have that neat orange color to their heads. Some of his thirty+ year captives have an almost pinkish orange color.
Glad somebody here has them too.

I have to say, these animals have really impressed me. Even the average animals have alot of color, but they come in bigger, have very little cosmetic defects and no Shell Fungus compared to Colombians. The orange head color is something I've only seen on Colombians, Venezuelans, and Cherryheads. The Redfoots out of Surinam and Guyana have yellow heads, save for the few I've had out of the Ripinuni that had blood red heads.......

On top of that, these animals are offspring from Redfoots either sold at, or on their way to the meat markets.......

Thanks for sharing!

What are your personal plans for these guys?

Interesting that 2 of those redfoots have the double nose scales like a yellowfoot which is supposed to be fairly uncommon from what I've read
