The second two pictures look a lot like my greek tortoise, and I was told that he was a Lebanese/Western Syrian greek. I'm a newbie here though, so I can't be positive.
Hi,
In your picture of the 3 on the left is a Jordanian greek, T.g.ssp
The middle one is a Golden/Antakyan cross, T.g.terrestris/antakyensis
The one on the right is an Antakyan greek, T.g.antakyensis (Syrian)
Jordanian greek, T.g.ssp not describe subespecies?
The middle one is a Golden/Antakyan cross, T.g.terrestris/antakyensis
The one on the right is an Antakyan greek, T.g.antakyensis (Syrian)
any one of this need winter rest? i chose the darker cose i supose can be more cold tolerant
The Jordanian type was described as T.g.floweri, but floweri isn't valid so it needs redescribing.
No none of them need a winter rest and yes the crosses are fertile.
