Lol! I just had a look at Herbie. Impossible to tell, but then she's only 5 months old.

Any such thing as a hermaphrodite tort?

Dan, the pics of 3.5 inch male, I am assuming that's 2 pics of the same tort is it? It looks very different to all the others (male and female) but very similar to my 2

By the way on the first pic of the 3.5ins male it looks like a human face on the left hand side Scary... you will have all kinds of weirdos coming to worship him

The first male is a T.h.hercegovinensis, The second and third males are brothers and the parents came from southern Greece and are T.h.boettgeri.
The first female is a T.h.hercegovinensis, The second and third females are sisters and their grandparents came from northern Greece and are T.h.boettgeri.

I don't see any faces

Danny

Thanks Dan. Can you see the face now, I've highlighted it in red? It's like a person half lying down, head, arm and chest and we are looking at it from the side
