I'd go with C also.... B just looks rough, but I don't care for the "flattened" top on A so much. I prefer the shell shape of C; clean and slick.

C because he is the only one posing for the picture

Hi sabito20:

Won't you take a few moments to start a new thread in the "Introductions" section and tell us a bit about yourself?

A- for the nuchal scute, but I like C's shell.

Gotta second kbaker's vote.

For pure conformation, C is better but nuchals are less common.

I would say C mainly since he takes the best pictures. I would think the amount the plastron concaves and any irregular shell growth or wear around the the important parts would be a factor as well. But I wouldn't want to be the one sliding under them on a creeper. A mirror would be a safer bet I suppose.

:tort: Great thought, that was one of the first things we checked on each one, the plastron and tail size. All three were good, A was the best for tail size and plastron concave.

:) Update, things have been worked out as of today, we are scheduled to purchase and pick up one next Tuesday. We have our choice which one. We are heading over tomorrow and doing a hands on health inspection and spend some more quality time with them before we make our final choice. Thank you all for providing your opinions and comments.

I chose the first one(A) because I really like its shell. And I think it's quite healthy and fit.

We have decided on "A". Here is a picture from today. Hard choice between "A" and "C".

Wet A, nice:D. Going by looks(cuteness) I would have picked C. But that's not really they way to choose. Is the picture of him at your place or haven't you picked him up yet. Name, what's his name? Let us know how he does with the others when they are able to all be together.
