Hello, i am fairly new to the tortoise world so i need some help identifying my new tortoise "Tamatem" i'm not sure what kind of tortoise is she but i think she's a female because of her short tail.
Thank you

I'm pretty sure Tamatem is still too small to know for sure its sex.

Looks like one of the Greek species to me too.

Thank youuuu :D:<3:
Most welcome. :)

Please give your cute tort daily soaks in warm water, and read the "Beginners Mistakes" Thread.

By the way, you're very near: I live in Jordan. ;)
