Bolivians seem to start out with light blue carapace and over the years define to almost black. The plastron is very yellow sometimes with black chevrons on them (like the male in the photo) ounce they get to adulthood they will become very dark with some signs of yellowish. The easiest way to tell a bolivian is by age if known and the scales on there head and legs. They are very spotty. usually end up being yellow, but sometimes can be orange. they lack the large scales like that of the guyana,venezuelans, surinames, and columbians the typical of most northerns seen in collections.
