Is this a Greek?

[HerpMS]

Hey everyone!

I was wondering if someone could confirm what kind of tort I have. When I brought her home I was told she was a Greek, but I just am realizing how unreliable previous owners can be, and just had my first experience with Greeks and Hermanns looking so similar. I have attached some photos of her and appreciate any help!

No, you have a Hermann's tortoise.

Thanks for the response! I'm so glad I asked finally, I feel so silly now thinking she was a Greek tort the whole time Is it possible to tell if she's a hermanni or boettgeri?

I would say a dalmatian, but I guess those are not recognized anymore as being different from boettgeris.

Thank you again!! I appreciate the help! I wish I had joined the group and asked sooner so I could learn about her ID sooner.

Beautiful Hermann's! Their care is very similar to caring for a Greek so I'm sure you've been doing fine with him. (Also - "she" is a "he".)

Yep HE is an eastern(possibly dalmation) Hermanns tortoise, congrats
