I was told this is a Derasa . But Recently I have been investigating and it looks more like a Squamosa
Any Input?

T. squamosa will have large scutes on the shell, which I believe I can see on yours.
 
Awesome guys! This is why I posted it. Thank you for the fast responses.
I will grab another picture later for reference, but yes! It has much larger scutes compared to my maxima.

How are the Squamosas compared to the maximas and Derasas. As far as hardiness, rarity, and requirements.
 
They are on par with derasa, but grow much faster than any others. They can get large. In 1.5yrs mine went from 2" to 12 " or so.
