So I have 2 Greek spurred torts .. 1 young lad than a yea and another 4 years old .. I live in Cyprus so climate is perfect for them and they live in a nice enclosure outside .. I’ve just been given today 3 more torts all from the save clutch allegedly Iberia spurred ,about 4.5 years old I think they are big for their age ? However my worry is that are they what I’m being told ? Their shells seem to be lumpy not smooth like my 2 can anyone help me determine if this is the case or have they been on a bad diet all their live

Need cleaner photos in better lighting. Their skin looks a tad golden, but they have dirt all over so hard to know for sure. They could be Testudo graeca terrestris (Mesopotamian) but I cannot confirm from these photos.

I'll tag @HermanniChris for his expertise. He has tons of experience with Greeks.

They look like possible mixes but they could be Anatolian ibera. Any photos of the parents?
