I never noticed before that one of my female Russians has some pretty hefty spurs. Much bigger than the other Russians. It made me wonder if she could be a Greek or maybe a hybrid. Here's a couple pics. Opninions?

She looks like a subspecies RT. How big is she in relation to your other females?

I have a large subspecies RT that has the same spurs. I've also see them in old females too.

I am used to 4 toes Russian and five toes Greek. How many nails does she have?

Four, but so does my Golden Greek, on his back feet. As does my marginated
How many nails does this one in question have on the front (the "burrowing feet") and how many nails do your Greek & marginated have on each of their front legs
