Cherry-head tortoises are the red-headed variant of the common red-foot tortoises (chelonoidis carbonarius). They’re also called eastern red-foots or Brazilian red-footed tortoises because they’re indigenous to Brazil’s eastern and southeastern regions. They can also be found in Bolivia, Panama, and Paraguay, albeit in smaller numbers.
In 1984, the Blue Ribbon Pet Farm in Miami received a shipment of 3500 unusually colored red-footeds from South America, along with a large batch of chaco tortoises (Chelonoidis chilensis). The brilliant red colors were so remarkable that Scott Hearsey listed them as ‘Cherry-head Red-foots’ on the next price list. ‘Cherry-head’ was just a way to describe the distinctive colors of the batch. They had no way of knowing that these animals would turn out to be such a phenomena!
