Thanks. Got the Chimera Press book. Very very good read, and some good references to USA breeders.Just saw this thread.
A good book showing some regional variations in red-foot tortoises is Peter Pritchard's Turtles of Venezuela. It's easily available on Amazon for around $50.00.
There are flaws though...because of some misinformation Peter was given regarding the origin of the red-headed or 'cherry -head' animals, he identifies Paraguay and Argentina as their native lands.
Another good book is Holger and Vetter's South American Tortoises by Chimera Press.
It too should be easy to obtain from Amazon
