Tyler thanks I seen that post a while ago, but i am having a hard time determining the differences. I hoping Danny comes along and takes a look he is the expert.

Caroline is big she is also weighing in at about 1400 grams. She is the one who got the whole tortoise addiction rolling. We have had her about 10 years.

I think Shreks head looks the same as the others it's just the angle of the pic. I had to go look at him after seeing your post.

They aren't actually stuck to the tape, but it worked to be able to take the pics without them running away from me.

Woo Hoo!!! Duct tape rides!

Beautiful torts!

Maggie and Fiona look like T.h.horsfieldii. Larry does too, but only because he's short and domed. The rest are all T.h.rustamovi.

Caroline---T.h.horsfieldii
Maggie--going to need to see a picture of the front of her carapace (specificly the marginal scutes in the front)
Pearl---T.h.horsfieldii
Fiona---T.h.horsfieldii
Larry---T.h.horsfieldii
Mr. B and Shrek the same as Maggie

HA! Before I saw Danny's answer I knew the top two were the same but the bottom was different. So almost right, right?

Thanks Danny, I actuall thought that I had at least one of each subspecies so I am a little suprised that they are all the same except for Shrek. Unforunately Shrek has been my breding stud. I think what i will do now that I have this info. is switch Larry out for Shrek he has been wanting some time with the ladies.

Thanks again, Jon
