Zombensis/Natalensis

(I have tried to identify them, and so far they look like zombensis, but I have seen someone have torts just like mine that were identified as natalensis, so I want to make sure)

Sharp beak not tricuspid

I doubt that you will get a more reliable answer than the one you got from Jeremy.

Here's photo of a young zombensis on the Kinixys coop's website. The similarities are striking.

Unfortunately they do not have any photos of natalensis.

One question for you please. Is the marginal scute above the tail single or divided in the middle?

 

[TheLastGreen]

Seems to be single

My mistake. I was going to delete it. Based on head coloration and beginnings of Mercedes star patterns on shell I strongly suspect these are zombensis.
