Can anyone help? What breed is my tortoise!?

Haven't a clue and want to find out the breed!

It's not a breed, it's a species. Send a PM to GBTortoises with a link to this thread requesting he check it out for you. He is one of our resident Testudo experts. He might ask for some plastron shots too.

I'm going to guess its one of the Greeks, Testudo gracea. There are several subspecies though.

Tom is right. There are no tortoise breeds. All pet tortoises are captive wild animals.

I think this is an Ibera Greek tortoise (Testudo graeca ibera), but we'll see what GB and the other Testudo experts say.

She looks fantastic! Was she raised from a baby? Where are you located? I'm guessing the UK?

Yes in the uk, my inlaws had her from a baby but father inlaws passed so we inherited her!
