Hi Froggie,

as always, its not easy to identify MHD species from Pics.

To me the second one loks male and the first...I don´t know, maybe female.

But I am not sure about the species.

armatas are famous for their high crest ans spines-and I don´t see much of that in the animals on the pic.

I´d guess at that size you should see that in armatas.

Intuitively I would say that the first animal very much reminds me of A. lepidogaster...maybe you shoud check this.

The large number of tubercle scales on the flanks of the second animal somewhat irritates me.

Sorry, all very inconclusive.

But thats all I can say.



Best regards



Ingo
