Sub species Identification and sexing of my hermanns please

johnathan9757 · 22-11-2011, 07:49 PM

Hi all I really need some help with my Hermanns, I have 7 in total and they are called Sedrick, Sally, Babs, Tank, Tiny, Titch, and Tim. I have had most of them since they were young. I know that Sally and Sedrick are THB but still are really unsure of thier sexes they are both 8yrs old sally has a plastron length of 6inches and sedrick 5 and 3/4inches. Babs I know is female and Herc. Tank is 4 nearly 5 has a platron length of 6inch but i am unsure of which sex or sub species he or she is. Titch and tiny are both 8 going on 9 and are both very small they both have a plastron length of 4inches i believe they are both female and am thinking they maybe hermanni hermanni. Tim is 4 and is a hermanni hermanni male and has a plastron length of 3 and 1/4 inch. Can someone help as this is driving me crazy and i would really like to try my hand at breeding but dont want to mix sub species or have too many males together and end up with fighting. I have given a link to my photo bucket where there are numerous photos of all of them, would be really greatful if anyone could tell me an accurate sex and sub species of them, sally and sedrick have been on here before but i didnt feel the photos were clear enough. Any help greatly appreciated.
