This was given to me as subrufa, which I'm 99% sure she's not. I'm leaning toward carinatus due to the lack of cusp like structures on the upper jaw and the presence of barbels on the chin. I'd thought the turtle was male but found her laying infertile eggs today...go figure. I thought that plastron looked male.
I tried to get a head shot but Rupert would NOT cooperate.
