"They don't all marble like this (the white between the schutes) but cherryheads are the only red foot that shows marbling."

In the tortoise world, we call them different species not breeds. Not exactly sure why but that's just the correct way lol
JD, by any chance has that girl at the top been raised inside a lot? It seems that marbling-or that kind of white coloring- is more common when inside. I can show you that on my Hingebacks if you want pics. As soon as they get outside they lose that white 'gap' between the scutes.N2TORTS said:abclements said:Hi Rob,

Well Mr. Drew…..not to cause a stir ….but there are other Redfoots who will show marbling ….not just Cherry Heads. This gal has yellow marbling.
But your right …generally you will in the Cherry Heads….
