Anamurum Greek Tortoise

Was T.g.anamurensis will most likely be T.t.anamurensis.
These greeks are low, long and flared, resembling a marginated tortoise. They are very dark, soft parts and shell, carapace and plastron. They are found in SW Turkey along the coast, not getting very far inland.
These aren't my pictures.

Wow - that guy is really dark. I've never seen a Spur Thighed Tortoise as dark as that. Is the range that bit cooler?
