    One is certainly parietalis, but the other is looking a little like sirtalis sirtalis to me.

    I posted about this on the other thread
    I too think, one of them is a parietalis, but I'm not sure about the other one

    they both look like parietalis to mee also...youcan see faint orange spots on the side on the top one....probably from farther north. the pics I've seen of the ones from Canada all have a row of red spots on the side down to minimal red or no red at all...

    Can't be sirtalis sirtalis, they are native in NC and can't be sold in any pet shop there.
