Species help?!

[KittyKay]

I replied to an advert on Gumtree entitled 'adult hermann tortoise' the seller proceeded to send me the attached pics. Stating it was a 3 year old female hermann.. This tortoise looks bigger than my oldest female hermann who is 7. Seller doesn't have cites or any documentation with the tortoise. After a few texts he said his friend has told him the tortoise is a 5 year old African spur thighed. Again it doesn't look anything like any of my sulcatas. Have a feeling it's Mediterranean of some sort but not sure at all.
Any one any ideas?
It's been fed carrots, peas, cauliflower and is currently being kept in a 3ft viv.

It does look like a Greek to me (called a spur thigh without the "African"), but I'm not really that familiar with the Mediterranean species of tortoise.

I was thinking maybe he got mixed up and meant a med spur thighed not African but still unsure about the size/age. Definitely older than 3! :S

I'm going to say this is a Greek Ibera female. I have one about this size. Pretty!

Thanks! What age is your female?

Your tortoise is definitely an Ibera Greek, Testudo (gracea) ibera. It should be much more green leafy based which should comprise of about 85% of it's diet. The rest can be a variety of vegetables.
