What variant of red foot is this?

Hey guys , it’s a tortoise photo I found online posted by a nearby breeder . Is it shell rot or normal in redfoots(the white shell ) . Because in all the photos and videos of redfoots i have seen , never seen anything like this .

Hello. That’s not shell rot, it’s called marbling. It’s usually passed down through genetics. Brazilian redfoots or also commonly called Cherryhead redfoots will usually get it, some get it more then others.

Neither have I. Not normal, I think these look like some strange mishap. Hybrids?

No, Tammy. Perfectly normal.
