: Thanks.

I don't know of which "Justin" you refer to but I am the one who is selling the southerns on the classifieds.This is what I have gathered from observing many of these both adult and juvinile, I find the southerns to have an entirly unique and different personality than the babcocki.The difference is atounding, they are far more active, outgoing and literally seem scared of nothing. If I had 20 hatchling babcocki in a bin and a 20 hatchling pardalis in the same , and I bent over too have a look at least 50% -75% of the babcocki would retreat into there shells the second they saw me, where the pardalis wouldn't even care or give me a second look(unless they were hungry, almost all will feed straight out of your hand).Personally these are the neatest,friendliest, coolest turtles I have had in my life.
I hoped I helped,
