Is this a Cherry Head Red Footed Tortoise

[Zaidi Bin Ramli]

Hi guys, I'm sorry to ask this, but can you help me determine whether my tortoise is a cherry head. Also I've own it for about 3 years. It's about 5.3 inches with its head out. Is that normal for a cherry head. Does the size indicate that it's growing healthily. Thanks.

Looks like one to me, healthy too.

That's good to hear. At least i'm doing something right. I want to keep him outdoors but he's still too small. You wouldn't know whether it's a he or she would you? Hahah

Zaidi, it is a cherryhead and tail appears female but anal opening appears male. my guess is male. any indentation in plastron yet? is the bottom of shell showing any concavity?

Nope, the bottom of the shell is flat, not even a little concave. Thanks for responding

Yes it's a redfoot but it's sexually immature so all we'd be doing is guessing.
