I think they are all Boetgerri. None of them looks like Hermanni Hermanni to me. But this doesn't mean they are not very nice torts!

Thanks Danny was worried they weren't all the same species as Milly the smallest female lays really big eggs and only small clutches.

My females of T.h.hercegovinensis only lay 2 to 4 eggs in a clutch and the average is closer to 2.

The Tetsudo Hermanni Hermanni females usually lay two eggs I think, occasionally three. This is partly why there are less of them around perhaps.
