Please help identify type of tortoise

Hi all!

I am very excited to be inheriting the family tortoise and in preparation for taking him on I would love your help.

He is around 60 years old and my family who initially had him never knew what kind of tortoise he is. I would love to find out so I can research and provide the proper care for him!

Any help is appreciated 😊

Welcome to the forum! Your tortoise is either a Hermanns tortoise or a Greek tortoise or I'm completely wrong 😅

I think he's one of the Greek species.
