ah, you poor old man you! Tell ya what, go and get your favourite tweed slippers, your fluffy dressing gown and smoke a pipe!
So come on Sarah, over to you - have you got a clearer photo of those darn scutes, can you see from the original photo if it is indeed the light playing tricks on the old boy ( ) or do I owe him a mega apology..... (maybe we should think of a forfiet for the one thats wrong..... ) I still stick to two black marks on the anal scute of the german tort...... (if there's a god up there please make me right cos that Terry'll never let me forget it if I'm wrong.........)

I feel really proud of myself - not smug - just proud as it shows I have learn't something from Shelled Warriors after all, spending all this time on the forum is educational! (Shame same theory doesn't work for uni!!!! )
I'm also curious to how you know its a sibling though Danny.........

Don't know for sure but it's a good chance. The carapace marking are very close if you look at the original scutes of the 2 of them. There are just slight differences which says to me they are probably siblings. Which would be very easy to mix up. I know because I always have to look back at pictures to tell mine apart sometimes.

Danny, Sarah has put photo's in the id/sexing section don't suppose you could have a look for her could you and give your expert opinion - I've just looked and no-ones replied yet! (except me and mine is just a pure guess!)
