I need help identifying this greek

[kimber_lee_314]

I was told she is a golden greek ... but I don't think so ....

I am not very good at this, but I will see if I can glean from Danny's previous posts and give it a stab. It appears to an Antakyan greek, T.g.antakyensis. However, there is a chance it is a Jordanian, but I don't think so. We'll see soon how I did.

How big is she? If she's under 5 inches I might say Jordanian too...But if she's full grown, I wouldn't say Jordanian.....Since her tail is so small, I am guessing she is sexually mature and def a female...but again, we would have to know SCL to be sure

 

[Stazz]

Definitely not Golden, could be Antakyan or Jordanian....she looks similar to my Jordanian, but I could be wrong, wait for Danny's response

I would say this is not Antakyan.
She looks to have all black nails, well defined borders on her scutes with a central dot in both the vertebral and costal scutes. The vertebral scutes have dark marking on the leading and side edges while the costals on the leading edge. The plastron has no pattern other than a large, poorly defined black marking in the central abdominal region. So I would guess Testudo nabulensis. Though she has the orange yellow skin that my Antakyan/jordanian has.
It is difficult to see the head or eyes in these photos. This is my guess, though I am rarely right.
I would say definitely female.

Robyn: You never cease to amaze me! Pretty soon we're going to trust your judgment and not have to say, "Let's see what Danny says."

Thanks Yvonne, but lets wait for Danny. I think I have the male, female ID down pretty good but I am still working (hard) on identifing what regions they come from, some look so, so close.

It is a female

It looks to me like a "Golden"/Antakyan cross. Every one was close

Yep I knew it. But it only makes me want to dig my heals in and work harder at learning the IDs.
Now if I am not insane the "Golden" is actually looked at as the T.g. terrestris?

kimber_lee_314 could you post a pic of its head so we can see the top and sides please.
