Is my tort a cherry head?

[ShellyTheTortoise71]

Hey guys. When I adopted my tort, Shelly, the people I got her from new nothing. Like literally, it was pathetic. So, they told me she was a cherry head. She might be, but I am really unsure. I figured I would ask you guys cause you always help with this kind of stuff Thanks. Ps... I didn't really know what to take pictures of, so these are really random lol

The plastron says Northern, not cherry head, but the experts on this forum may be able to see a little Brazilian blood in there that I can't see (those elbow spurs look larger than normal for the northerns I am familiar with).

No, not a cherry head.

Ok thanks. It's good to know.

Agree with SarahChelonoidis. She has mixed parentage and is not a straight-up Northern. She is a blend with some Cherryhead in her.
