Congratulations. Is this a first time with these?

No, I hatched out 3 about 5 years ago - that was my first time, and it was just a stroke of luck. They were in the incubator for over 5 months and they were black and stinkin. But I persevered and they eventually hatched. This was before I knew about the hot and humid method, and I really knew nothing about South American tortoises, so those three look like stunted pineapples.

Haha I knew that happened in the snake world, but I didn't realize it sold things with tortoises too!
That's what "cherry head" red foots are. It's not a species or even individuals from one geographic region. @Madkins007 tortoise library has a some great details about redfoots (among other species) and it includes the source or 'cherry head' as a name for some redfoots. It's a description of color along, but makes them sound cool, and they look, well, like they have cherry heads.
