Yes, they are both currently classed as <i>Geochelone carbonaria</i>.

Although many, including myself, feel that Cherry Heads warrent full species status, taxonimists to date seem to think they are the same species. What do I know anyway

I would have to ask why you would want to do that though. Wither ther rarity of Cherry Heads, I would think keeping the lines pure would be more benifical to captive populations. Again, just my opinion.

I agree with keeping the lines pure, as with dart frogs, I was just curious about if it was possible and if they were under the exact same classification, thanks so much for your input!!
