Good observation the usual red scallation of the redfoots head is absent in this hatchling. The baby tortoise has the one huge scale that resembles a Skull and is an off yellow brownish color. It does have a little red spot above his egg tooth. His front legs have a few red scales but not near as numerous as they usually are. Looking at his underside his plastron lacks the divisions so clear in his siblings. I can't see any other abnormal traits but this one will be fun to watch grow up and observe it's changes.--later Richard

The pics included here shows the mom , one of her babies that shows how colorful her offspring can be next to little "skullhead".
