Hello can anyone tell me if she is a red or yellow foot. She was sold at a LPS as a red, but she has so much yellow that it made me wonder. Thanks for lookin, have a great day.

Thats a redfoot. Most redfoots have yellow scales on the head. The ones that have more red on the head are called cheeryhead and are also redfoots but a sort of subspecies from one region. Tom

Thanks so much for clearin that up. We don't have much tortoises here on Maui and I've never seen a yellowfoot in person. I have 5 other R/F's but they don't have any yellow. Thanks so much for your time.

Very typical.

Go to Chris Tabaka's page on yellow-foot tortoises for good pictures showing the difference between the red-foot tortoise and yellow-foot tortoise. Go to:
