T. hermanni vs. T. g. ibera *Featurring Testudo marginata

[HermanniChris23]

I received quite a few e-mails from people requesting a Hermanns tortoise/Greek tortoise diagram on differentiating the 2. Well, I got to work on it and just finished. I also included the Marginated Tortoise in it as well.

ENJOY! :D

Chris, your photos and explanations are brilliant - a real education. Thanks so much for putting this together for us. Moderators, can this be a sticky so that we can easily find it in future?

[bruceleetortoise]

what im going to say might sound silly to you experts but i have to ask it, i thought you werent supposed to mix different species of torts together, there is 3 different species in them photos all together, when is it ok to mix???


by the way fantastic photos, very useful and informative.

[Henry-flash]

They are simply together for the photos.

[HermanniChris23]

Thank you :D

And just like Henry-Flash noted, the tortoises are only togther for these photos. I keep all my species separate including the sexes. 8)

I have had my lovely tortoise for over 40 years and we were never really sure what she was..or even if she is a she! Your diagrams and notes are very helpful and I am now fairly sure Pepper is a female Hermanns because of the spur on her short tail. Thank you! PS I've just joined and the whole site is excellent!
