Lots of ?'s from Mrs Frog
   The questions: Sex, species Id please. Can torts be hermaphrodites? And will the hole get bigger like an ear stretcher? She has had a neon string and Jackie is calling her holey

On first looking I thought Horsfield, but then saw the plastron and thought Herman. I have seen completely buttery yellow Hermans , they do exist, so I think this is one of them.
