There is no way to know for sure since he is so small. Take a picture of the bottom plastron and post it and we may be able to make a better determination. If the breeder is selling him as a mix, it is likely he is a mix.

Here are some old posts in which it was discussed and there are pictures!:

"cherryhead" is just a name someone gave to the redfoots from Brazil.

Seems like a typical Brazilian 'cherry head' to me. I wonder why the seller said it was a mix as it doesn't show any outward signs of it.

 

[shane1111]

maybe they got it in a batch of mixes

I would say that she is just a very high color cherry! But man is she perty!

 

[shane1111]

yay. She looked so dry when I got her. She looks so much better now
