[josiephina]

Hi I was wondering if anyone can help me,my daughter was given a tortoise a couple of years ago and I have no idea what kind she is I'm assuming she's a she! I looked online and thought she looked most like a Tunisian and believe they don't hibernate so I have not hibernated her and I'm worried I should have she's totally fine very active I have tried her with lots of different foods and all she will eat is dandelion leaves and mangos.so hope you can help me with the mystery so I can take better care of her(Maureen)

She has little horn thingies on her back legs if that helps.

I was thinking marginated too because of the flared 'skirt.' Let's ask @HermanniChris

That is a Greek tortoise 100% and looks to be Tunisian (Testudo graeca nabeulensis).

Chris is "the" guy around here when to comes to Mediterranean tortoises so you can take what he says to the bank.
