Jackson and General pygal scutes

General and Jackson are really hard to tell apart, but I have discovered something that will never change about them, General has a single pygal scute and Jackson has 2

yes , Aldabra

General and Jackson are really hard to tell apart, but I have discovered something that will never change about them, General has a single pygal scute and Jackson has 2

That’s a good observation, I had to look a few times to see them, my eyes are failing me. And one thing that will never change about me is that I love tortoise butt photos!!! ??

Just in case you're interested:

That is actually the supracaudal scute. One of your Aldabras has a divided supracaudal. The pygal (and part of the suprapygal and the last peripherals on each side) is actually the bone that is beneath that scute.
