Here are some of the pics of my grandmother's mutts. Mom was a redfoot and dad a runt cherryhead. We did not expect them to be able to breed, but my grandmother seems to love them just the same. She is vetting her neighbors to see if they make good homes. She already gave away 2 and she has 6 left.
Here is a pic of five of their plastrons: ( must have left one out!)
This one has the darkest plastron and a kind of bulbous nose. He is also the one that looks the most like a cherryhead. When they all hatched they were all the same color (head and legs) Now that they are growing, the heads are lightening up and the legs are staying red.
Here are the two we bought as babies on the net. The pics that were taken showed the torts as having the same color head and legs. As they matured, the legs stayed red and the heads started lightening up. Also, once we got them the plastrons were not as dark as expected. They are lovely torts, that will remain pets with no plans on breeding.
