Hi Everyone!

We have a new a tortoise, which is supposed to be a Greek tort... However, the more I read about the different kinds of tortoises the less convinced I am on what kind we have... I’d like to know the type he is with more confidence so I’m better prepared to provide the exact care he needs. I appreciate your help in advance!

You have an eastern Hermann’s Tortoise (Testudo hermanni boettgeri) for sure, and it certainly is no Greek Tortoise of any kind.

While I have the expert looking at the pics, can you tell if it’s male or female?

Disregard. I googled and think it’s either a male or too soon to tell. Thanks again for educating me on the type he was.
