I just received these two 3 week old baby Venezuelan tortoises at a bargain price.
Because they have irregular scutes, they were $50 each. Perfect ones sell for $125.
I think they are still beautiful! These are for my wife.
beautiful little guys, patman!
one of my DTs has an extra scute. i think it's unique! yours look great
Awww total cuties Patman!
They are very sweet extra scutes and all!
I wondered who got them!!! I had seen them and was going to "sleep on it" and when I finally decided to go for them, they were gone! LOL!
Congrats! They are gorgeous!
I don't see anything wrong with them. Look like perfectly good torts to me and for the price I would say you stole them
They are very cute..I was looking at them and the hermanns.. Congrats..
They look great Patrick
You did get a deal
Extra scutes never bothered me a bit.

I think the extra scutes give them a uniqueness and of course makes the easier to identify who’s who.
Question ; Is there something that causes extra scutes or is it just a genetic misfire, and why do some people think its bad. It does no harm to the tort, it is strictly a visual thing is it not?
Patrick I think your new pairl are lovely. They look sweet and I'm sure your wife will be thrilled.
On 2nd thought Patman, they do look like they need my attention. Better send them on over
