I'm getting a hermann's tortoise tomorrow. My dad got her from LLL reptile and she is about 2.5 inches long. So I'm not sure if she is considered a hatchling. Anyways, how can you tell the difference between a dalmatian tortoise and an eastern tortoise when they are young? I ask because when on the website picking out a tortoise, I asked for a "small eastern hermann's tortoise with missing scute" but my dad said when they got it, the lid said "with extra scute" and I remember the site having a dalmatian hermann's with an extra scute. So I'm thinking they ordered the wrong type of tortoise or LLL reptile messed up the order (probably the first one). If anyone could post some pictures of the two species while young I can ask him which one he thinks it is. Thanks!
