She's a Testudo graeca marokkensis.
How can you tell, (apart from just experience, of course)
What are the physical differences between the marokkensis, soussensis ,and graeca subspecies? I live in Morocco and often can't tell them apart.
I would say this one looks like T.graeca graeca so would like to know how to tell them apart, if that is possible, please.
