Looks like an Egyptian to me, but I don't know much about the Mediterranean species.

It's a Bowsprit tortoise, Chersina angulata

Okay, Danny. Once again, I'm impressed.
Is this something that you do for living, or you just know?

Ithink you are making up names... ;-)

Hahahaha Laura!

Bowsprit torts are actually from South African territory Like me!

Whenever I used to rattle off the Latin names of my cactus my sister used to accuse me of making up the names just to impress her...and how would she know otherwise? Now I'm wondering if Danny doesn't also do this. How would we know? And who would dare to call him on it?

You can always google the latin name

Nope don't do it for a living, I just live to do it.
