Youngs Sternotherus sp.

złoty · 11-11-2009, 08:25 PM

Helo everyone!
Please help me with my youngs Sternotherus sp. I want to know what species they are. I think between S.minor minor and S.carinatus. They have pattern like S.carinatus but orange/salmon plastrons like S.minor minor. Just look at them.

They are all Sternotherus carinatus

Are you sure? I bought them as S.minor minor. Soller told me that, but I wasn't sure what species it is.
I still have hope that they are really S.minor minor, becouse S.carinatus have got grey plastrons not orange/salmon. What do you think?

Yup I'm sure they are Razorback musk turtles.

No expert on these babies but large inguinal scute and no well formed Gular says Razorback musk to me.

Thanks ATP

They are wonderful!

Yeah they are wonderful but I want to have S.minor minor...

Could you tell me differences between young S.minor minor and S.dpressus?

I've seen a couple of Loggerhead Musk advertised for sale here in the UK just this week so maybe some will make thier way to the continent

You can find Loggerhead/Razorback comparison photo's on Austins Turtle page but there are no similar comparisons for Minor Minor and Depressus.

I could ony find one picture on the whole internet of the plastron of a young Sternotherus Depressus (at least it is tagged as such, I hope it does not mis lead). It appears to be very distictive.
