I've been contacted by someone who wants me to identify their tort, it was sold as a marginita, but obviously isn't!!
shes a 10y/o female,
I've had a guess myself, but as i'm rubbish, i don't like to guess without plastron pics!! (I guess Ibera?)

Josh she is an adult THB , note the scale formation on the form limbs and the divided anal scute ,

Josh if they are rehoming her this could be the girl you have been waiting for :D

Josh, the tortie's owner would make the best decision if this tort came to you - good luck and keep us posted. This little lady would be treated like a queen!!

I agree with Piglet on this but would like to say I have Thb with divided and non-divided anal scutes. Awkward little b's ;)

Have you stopped smiling yet Josh? Are you contemplating a name change to Joshina though?? lol :wink:

NOPE! LOL, i've had a permanent grin on my face all day.
I actually like the name Yanni, it grows on you, its a bit unusual, but I still like it :D
I do like the name Lola alot too....
I will stick with Yanni though (but Joshina is her middle name <G>)

Thought Joshina would be in there somewhere. I too like Yanni - very unique!
