I think they are all Boetgerri. None of them looks like Hermanni Hermanni to me. But this doesn't mean they are not very nice torts!

Hi thanks everyone they are definately 2 females and a male i had a baby hatch on New Years Day from the 2nd female and the male and more eggs incubating the 2nd female always lays between 5 and 8 eggs the smaller female has laid smaller clutches between 1 and 3 eggs

They all look like T.h.boettgeri to me

Everyone is close

All 3 Helen are T.h.hercegovinensis

They all look nice.

Thanks Danny was worried they weren't all the same species as Milly the smallest female lays really big eggs and only small clutches.

That's what I thought they were ... not

**egyptiandan64** · 24-01-2010, 08:51 PM

My females of T.h.hercegovinensis only lay 2 to 4 eggs in a clutch and the average is closer to 2.

The Tetsudo Hermanni Hermanni females usually lay two eggs I think, occasionally three. This is partly why there are less of them around perhaps.
