This photo is of a tortoise that someone had had for quite some time but have never been able to identify it. Any ideas?

At last something concrete.snake_girl85 said:Looks like a CB Testudo sculptus... Possibly the subspecies T. s. resini... They are a pretty hardy specimen, thriving in gardens or next to patio furniture. They are most active in the spring, with sightings frequently occurring in the first week of April. Recent scientific studies have shown that they may exhibit a symbiotic relationship with garden gnomes.
