Can you ID these just from above?

I thought they may be THH but just guessing

LOL

Thank you Caledonia!

A picture of their behinds if it helps, I'm afraid I've not got a lot else on this computer that gives a better or more helpful view...

I think these are almost certainly Boetgerri. They have nice vivid colour with more contrast than we often see on Boetgerri.

Just my opinion though. Danny will give a more reliable verdict.

TortBabe · 27-09-2011, 10:36 PM

I agree

Plastron shots would tell for sure

Like Jonathan

They look like T.h.boettgeri to me also. A plastron picture will seal the deal though.

I've got some plastron pics for you...

Boris:

Monty:

Sex would be good too, I'm pretty sure they're both boys?!

Herpard · 01-10-2011, 11:23 AM

Both look the boettgeri

And I'd say

Top pic female
Bottom pic male

I must admit Boris does look pretty girly in that picture! The more I look at him/her, the more girly she looks...

I guess Boris is now a girls name too eh?!

They are both Dalmation Hermanns, Testudo hermanni hercegovinensis. They both look like males to me, but how big are they?
