How did he acquire something so unusual?
It really is very nice.

It almost looks like a red headed Yellowfoot.
I don't know my uncle got him but sadly he passed away before I was born
That's a sweet cherry head. Looks very old too.
Probably around 30-40
What's the SCL(length) value of this guy and the other one? Looks like a smaller type of cherry. I have one that I raised since it was a hatchling that is quite small. He's 15 now and only about 8"

what does spathe SCL(length) value mean if you mean length he is around 12" but the female that's picture i did not post is quite large around 14"
can i see a pic of your guy i would like to see the comparison for myself
I have no idea. Autocorrect. I edited it. Yeah I'll dig up a photo of mine. He's dark though. Nothing like these awesome ones
Sounds like the female she is not only bigger but darker as well
Here's my guy
The female is a lot lighter than yours now that I see him. What do you think it is just marveling or something else
Do you have any plans for him
Perhaps so.id imagine if they were both hypos the offspring would show. My male is with a female now. But she's not big enough or old enough yet to breed. Hopefully a couple more years.

It is an old worn cherryhead. I have a similar female.
It is probably one of the original Pet Farm imports, the first cherryheads seen in the US.
can i see yours? also do you know why they lighten up like that as they age

It just happens naturally over time.
The shell wears down and becomes thinner so they appear very light.
It happens with all forms of redfoot as they reach upper age limits.
I'll email you a picture if you like.
