RE: What type of greek tortoise is this?
Collector, unfortunately most pet stores do not know what type of tortoises they have. When the tortoises arrive they have a label that states Greek, so it is a Greek. They have no idea what kind they may have or for that matter if there are different kinds. Some stores have sold Russians as Greeks and box turtles as Redroots.
So I guess it is up to the buyer to try and find out all they can about the type of tortoise they see. Research, Research, and more Research.
