Can anyone identify this tortoise?
 

Hi guys...this is my friends tortoise...I thought I would ask the experts about identifying what subspecies 'she' is...

She got her from a pet shop 5 years ago (2007). She came with an article 10 that says 'Slovenia' and Testudo Hermanni and that she was hatched in 2004.

She eats weeds like a horse,drinks fine, poos etc. Active and healthy.

She only weighs about 320grams. Can anyone offer any other opinion on what subspecies she is? I think shes boettgeri‎ personally...

Many thanks

Thanks for the replies guys..very interesting as the vet said 'he' was female but i'm definatley going for male too, although 'his' tail looks bigger in the pic than it is in real life...
