The Serrated Hinged Terrapin is the largest hinged terrapin. The carapace and bridge are uniform black in colour. The plastron is yellow-centered, with a sharply defined, black, angular pattern around the edge. The skin of the neck and limbs is pale olive-grey.

The Pan Hinged Terrapin is small hinged terrapin with a rounded, smooth shell and a small plastral hinge; no axillary. The head is large, with a blunt snout and smooth beak; there are usually 2 tentacles under the chin. The carapace is uniform brown, and brown-grey when dry.

They are often covered with mud 0*\ and if you do not have them next to each other it is difficult to judge "small" and "largest" :O^

Maybe "blunt snout" and "smooth shell" can help -O-

If only they would all agree 0*\

I have added the above to the reptile book. The reptile book also says that it only occurs in Limpopo O/

It all depends from where you get the information lol
