Listed as a Russian tortoise, but I'm pretty sure it's not that. Can anyone ID what it actually is?

Also, it comes with a 6' enclosure for $100... Not bad!

Here's the pic from the ad, in case it gets deleted.[/align]

It's a Greek tortoise subspecies, hard to tell for certain which from the photo but looks to be from the far western Middle East or possibly North African. It is definitely not a Russian tortoise!

The shape is wrong for a Russian, the dome is too high.

Are you planning on getting it?
