I have had Mrs. T for 2.5 years, she is such a great pet! Its been cooler here, but finally up in the low 70's so I put her outside this morning. I still have lots of work on her outdoor pen but she seems to be loving it! Wanted to post some pictures of her for y'all to enjoy! IMG_1249.JPG IMG_1250.JPG IMG_1251.JPG IMG_1252.JPG

Very nice color definition. Is she a cherryhead or a regular red foot?

Thank you! I honestly don't have an idea. I took her in a littler over 2.5 years ago. She has some slight pyramiding that has gotten better over the years and her color is much better than when I first got her. I would have to ask others as to what exactly she is. All I know is she is by far my most favoritest and I love her!

Can you provide a photo of her underside?
And the shell area around her arms.
These will help us determine if it is a Cherryhead or a colorful, normal Redfoot.
Sorry it took so long to get this posted, been a super busy few weeks with all my kids out of school!IMG_1333.JPG IMG_1335.JPG

I think I agree with Zero, very colorful non Brazilian.

Lacking high inner arm extended red scale, has pointier nose and bright plastron leading me away from cherry head.

Is there a big difference in care for the two? When Mrs. T came to me she was not as colorful as she is now, her red spots were very pale and her skin was so dry. I am happy to know that how beautiful you guys think she is! I sure love her so much!!!

Thanks, I have never spent any time trying to determine if she was anything other than just a red foot. So all of the care and information I read was not specific to to a type. I was getting a little nervous I may have done something incorrect.

Darn it! I'm too slow! She is very pretty, I love those elbow spurs. My Tucker doesn't have them that well defined yet. He's 2
