Is this a Florida Ricordea? It seems like a Yuma-ish looking Florida, but I'm not sure.

How does it drop babies? Do several mouths form on one cap or does it split and drop off babies with single mouths?
I've always distinguished the 2 species with Florida ric forming multiple mouths on one cap.
Ricordea yuma having same structure but dropping single babies without forming multiple mouth on same cap.
Yours looks like one of mine that I'd classify as ric yuma but I could have my classifications all wrong lol

I have had it for months and it has never moved or dropped babies. It just keeps getting bigger. It is over 2 inches wide in that photo.

Right on. I have a beast myself.
Same thing just keeps getting big.
Single mouth like yours. Looks like a Florida ric just without the multiple mouths.
I stole this baby from mine lol.

Babies look more like an actual bouncing Yuma when they are tiny.
 
Hmm I'd say yuma. It is not as obvious as it usually is to tell though in this instance.
But the mouth and formation of bubbles kinda give it away.
 
Originally it came in a Florida 5-pack, but it's certainly not very Florida. I hope it's a Yuma because I don't want it to split.
 
i believe this to be a florida ricordea. a yuma would be more “bouncy”
