The title says it all. What kind of tortoise is it? And I can't differentiate if it's a male or a female...

I believe it's a Hermanns, but could be wrong. I'm not that familiar with them. However, I do know it is way too young to sex it.

Too young to sex. Can you do a close up of the tail? I want to see if there are spurs.

Looks like a Greek. A little young to sex very accurately but some shot of its tale upside down would be very helpful

Not all Greeks are the same. Also, there are a lot... I mean a lot of different sub species...
