Hmmm I'm not too sure. He certainly has the most common features of a Tunisian but I think he may be a little big @HermanniChris is the expert at identifying species so let's see what he says! :)

Possibly T. g. nabeulensis but looks a little big and the plastral markings are a bit off. I am leaning more towards T. g. graeca from a particular locale where they often look like this (the name of the area escapes me at the moment).

Here is an example:

And another thought is possibly Lebanese T. graeca.

A very warm welcome to the forum!:tort:

Can't help, sorry, am not a tort expert. But whatever species it is, it's a cute tort.:)
