A picture of their behinds if it helps, I'm afraid I've not got a lot else on this computer that gives a better or more helpful view... |

I think these are almost certainly Boetgerri. They have nice vivid colour with more contrast than we often see on Boetgerri.
Just my opinion though. Danny will give a more reliable verdict.

Like Jonathan They look like T.h.boettgeri to me also. A plastron picture will seal the deal though.

I must admit Boris does look pretty girly in that picture! The more I look at him/her, the more girly she looks...
I guess Boris is now a girls name too eh?! |

They are both Dalmation Hermanns, Testudo hermanni hercegovinensis. They both look like males to me, but how big are they?
