Is that 3 separate turts?

The second and third pix are a YBS x Cumberland, what's the first one?

Yes the second and third pics are the same one-we wondered what that one was.
I think the other one in the first pic in a YBS

Does it have an orange "ear" like the other one does, and the big yellow S shape behind the eye?

OK, the last two are a YBS x Cumberland, the previous four are a Cumberland.
The second one in your first post is almost certainly a male by the look of those front claws, how old is it?

Well thats the younger of the two by three months the eldest must be about 15/16 months old now, and the younger which you think is a male (and is the same one as in last 2 pics)must be about a year. He is the most aggressive and will hiss at you also noticed them pecking/kissing each other recently....

Interesting that it/he is developing such long claws so early, you say you've had him a year, do you know how old he was when you got him?

BTW he's not hissing at you, he's exhaling as he withdraws into his shell and it makes that sound. Unlike most animals turts can't expand their ribcage (their shell is actually a fused ribcage), so when they withdraw suddenly into their shells they have to empty their lungs to make room for head and legs!

When we got him he was a few months old no idea how old though, but he was about inch and a half in diameter then
Whats the kissing/pecking thing?
