Most Cherry Heads sport the classic bright red head and leg scales,and the "Rudolph Nose" but also can include an array of colors such as red/pink/orange head & leg scale coloring. Even variations within shell patterns and coloring may differ. One example would be  the  sought after “marbled ones” which are included in this species. Morphs and Hybrids such as the black cherrys have been introduced  as well. Found in limited areas, primarily in the Paraguayan Chaco, and the Brazilian rain forests, these impressive tortoises are well sought after in the tortoise world
