Update pics of my Geos

I can almost guarantee you 100% that they are not surinamensis but rather altifrons. Surinamensis is the catch-all name that importers, wholesalers and retailers use when they can't identify the exact species. For what it's worth. You can call them what you like as they will be gorgeous regardless.

i know they're not surinamensis, they are most likey altifron but then again like almost all of the geos look a like i have a hard time i.d-ing them.

Here's a pretty good chart that helps ID the various Geos.

The key with altifrons is the very small size of the body spot. As they mature it gets smaller and smaller and is oft times absent in older specimens.
