They both look like males to me, but we will need another picture of #1 to be sure.

Your last picture is also a male. The 2nd and 3rd pictures look like T.h.hermanni, are they?

Have you posted pictures of the back of their carapaces? The lengths of the mid line seams on the plastron look like they should if they were T.h.hermanni.

I haven't a clue really, but thought I'd have a go at female, male, female. Bet I'm very very wrong!

I went back and looked at the first pictures you posted for sexing and I totally got the 3 mixed up. On the 2 I said were T.h.boettgeri, I should have been asking for back of the carapace pictures. The one I asked for back of the carapace pictures is the one I should have said was a T.h.boettgeri. Sorry about the mix up, but it does happen to me once in a while.
