Identify this guy?

[tort_luv_5055]

SO... I have been going on in my research thinking that my tortoise is a Greek. But...is he?? I am not so sure now. I have been looking around and it seems that my hatchling looks almost identical to a Hermann's...his plastron does not look the same as a Greek's. I included pictures in this thread to aid in identification. Can anyone reassure me that my tortoise is in fact a Greek or tell me what he happens to be? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here is a thread with tons of pictures of Greeks; http://www.tortoiseforum.org/thread-63129.html
I am no expert at identifying but the carapace shell patterns don't really resemble a hermann's to me.

I'm no expert on the testudos either, however I'm moving this thread to the Greek section until/unless someone tells me differently. He looks Greek to me.

Looks Greek to me...carapace and plastron patterns aren't Hermanns...the head has a light color that you tend to see with greeks...and he has his "spurs" on his little butt.

Pheww!! I was a little worried there. Thanks guys!

Its a Greek defiantly. If you want the dead giveaway, its the spurs on the last pictures of his butt! ^_^ He looks to be Ibera too if you want to know the subspecies ^_^v

It's a Greek you can see the two spurs between the back legs and tail.
