What is the exact species name on these?

With a click of google you could have found the info yourself. Chelonoidis nigra

Goggle result. 11 species of Galapagos tortoises.

I should've been more specific, which island do yours come from?

Incorrect.

A species and a subspecies are not equivalents.

Few private collectors' breeding colonies in the US are likely to be confined to one island source, but maybe Jerry and Ken know.

The babies Jerry and I produce are integrades subspecies, so they should be listed as ssp. I suppose. However, there are only 3 or 4 people actually producing Galaps in the US right now, and all of them are from the same founder stock I believe, which would make them all intergrades. Our females came from the Life Fellowship, and our male is from the Oklahoma City Zoo. It appears there are only 3 or 4 producing males in the country, as most of the Life Fellowship males either refuse to breed or produce infertile eggs. It's an odd delime.

I agree they are not, but you don't really need to put sub in front of species every time. Technically, yes subspecies is the correct term but saying species to shorten the length instead of saying subspecies when the var. will be defined by the name that had given the subspecies the definitive status, species gets the point across to those that understand the terminology. Should they have technically said subspecies yes, but you and I get what they mean by calling them a species. To those that don't comprehend evolution very well, I can see where they would actually think there are 11 separate species by the information in the article.

That's all you would've needed to put in the first reply message since obviously Googling it wasn't going to produce a definitive answer. C'mon man

Thank you for clarifying though. Still haven't gotten some responses from some breeders.
