J_____ and D____ are about the same size as the tortoise in the first thread and I am going to weigh D____ who is not hibernating tomorrow.There are something like 10 subspecies of Greek tortoise that have a huge range in sizes/weights. Tesduo graeca nabuelensis, can weigh as little as 200 g (about 0.5 lbs) for an adult, while giants like Testudo graeca ibera can weigh more than 3 kg (6-7 lbs). The point is that they are all Testudo graeca, or Greek tortoises, so there is no single answer.
For your Testudo graeca marokkensis, males are in the 500-700 g (1.3 lbs) range and females be 1500 g (3.3 lbs). However, there is a lot of variation. Here's a thread with a huge female marokkensis that weighed (3.5 kg/ 7.7lbs):
I think I have a huge marokkensis, can anyone confirm?
Hi everyone! I've had this tortoise since 2003 when she was a hatchling, and I know she comes from Morocco. I compared her to pictures and she looks exactly like a marokkensis, but she's huge, like twice as big as the biggest (she weighs 3.5kg, 7.7lbs). Can you experts confirm that she is indeed...tortoiseforum.org

Dear @ Zovick,Very nice looking tortoises! How long have you had them?
Wow! They are both older than I am. I am 75 (will be 76 in February) and started keeping turtles and tortoises in the early 1950's at the age of 5.Dear @ Zovick,
You've got a pretty tortoise as well. They've been in the family for seventy-one years. D____ is seventy-nine and J____ is eighty-six.

Close up of Daisy before she had her medication.J and D were living outside until last May when I moved to this flat and at the moment J is hibernating inside whilst D is unable to hibernate because of an inflamed paw which is much better. Mum had J when she was 8 and looking at the photos she wasn't full grown so I'm putting her at dad's age of 86. D was quite small when mum had her a year later so I'm putting her at mum's age of 79.
