The first one is captive raised Lynn. She probably came in around 2 1/2 inches long.

OK thanks Dan. She has rather an odd looking shell but its very smooth. Im thinking maybe Horsfields aren't as prone to pyramiding as other species?

They are pretty prone to a type of pyramiding that seems to affect the first vertebral scute the most. It grows almost straight up from the marginals in the front and slightly affects the other vertebral and coastal scutes.
