@Anyfoot @ZEROPILOT - clarification
The Cherryhead redfoots are exported from farms in Bahia State and surrounding areas of Brazil. Since this area has been generally accepted as their home range, the cherryheads were commonly understood to be southeastern in origin. From a Brazilian perspective, however, that area is considered part of the Northeast coast. So terming the Cherryhead redfoot 'northeastern' would not be incorrect.
Whether the marbled tortoises can legitimately be advertised as 'dwarf' or not is another matter. However, since I have never seen a highly marbled orange cherryhead of large size, I have always wondered if the smaller tortoises could indeed be another variant.
