Hi,
I recently joined the forum, seems like a good group of people.
I'm wondering where I might find a pretty good key to the Pyxis tortoises, even if just for adults?
I've seen some flat-tailed tortoises and they seem distinct, but the three species (subspecies) of the "spider" tortoises seem more complicated. I looked through the threads here and see photos and people making determinations, but it was for small individuals.
I think I'm good at ID'ing all the small brown birds that come to my feeder, so figure with a decent key I could sort these out as well. Maybe in a issues of Reptiles magazine or something like that.
