What I can tell you is my tortoise does have the spur tail. The plastron has two longitudinal lines (broken once at the top). It has the cheeks spots under each eye in yellow color.
When I went to the pet store, it was labeled Russian tortoise. I questioned it with the associate and they assured me it was not a tustedo. Now im thinking Eastern Hermanns. Man, I just want to know so I can take care of him/her properly.

Sounds like an Eastern. The good news is that both Russians and eastern have very similar care sheets. I have a hatchling Western and I reference both sheets all the time. Check them out for all the basics.
