I think there is no need to get defensive and sarcastic-Andy could be wrong as can we all.

I couldn't agree with you more

Shame andy can't speak for himself, but we all make mistakes including dan, its only his opinion no need to be defensive or rude

Were was I defensive or rude?

I only said that we all can make mistakes, Dan could be wrong, I definately could be wrong and Andy could be wrong!

Not you sorry

Everyone *could* be wrong! Can we really ever say for sure what species/sub-species a tortoise is without DNA testing?

I'm Never wrong

I saw nowhere that anyone said they were a matched pair anyway - just that thesetorts have been together for some time, in which case why seperate them? Personally I think it is time this list saw a bit more general moderation and not just allowing posts that seem OK from one side and not another. JMHO of course but therre does seem to be a lack of consistency. Sorry for any typos but it's not easy to read this white on black

If that is the case then we should all stop breeding until such time?(I dont breed but got eggs from a tort that was bred).
Surely the ID guides are pretty accurate, if not why have them?
Why not tell people that we do not know for sure?
Why insist on seperating subspecies if we dont know they are?

I was just asking a question with my previous post. I could of course be wrong! <g>

Sorry, I thought you were serious.

So are the ID examples correct and for the greater part accurate?

Iam

Oh I am more confused now?? quote " if these have been together for sometime why seperate them?" I thought mixing species/subspecies was a no no!

Why is everyone gettng hot under the collar on the ID of two torts
