I would like to thank Darrell Senneke of WCT and our own Egyptiandan and for their kind help in the identification of my two adult Greeks.
Seems they are probably from Lebanon, or Jordon based but definitely from the Middle East. .
There seems to be differences in the species designation that is still up in the air which depends on your taxonomist of choice.
This information of course helps me understand the temps and area my two are from so I can better emulate, or attempt to emulate their habitats to that particular region.
Here is a couple of pics of my two:

Explain what the tortoise is or what the coffee table book is?

The tort is a Greek...(there was no specific species given...perhaps that is what you are referring to.) I haven't a clue which species they would be debating...

A "coffee table book" probably has a newer name these days...from my day it was an oversized hardcover book of fantastic pictures with beautiful descriptions. It was left on the "coffee table" or end table in the living room as a conversation piece and to page through at your leisure (before technology sucked away leisure time).

We have a few, all with different themes: nature pictures, national parks and national baseball parks. Each picture has a paragraph or two of fun facts.

You are not dumb, always best to ask...if one person has a question they are usually not the only one with the question they are just the one brave enough to ask it
