Looks like a poorly grown Marginated, Testudo marginata

Maybe Tunisian or Deformed Marginated. Could you get a picture of the underside of the tort? Think you could get more help then

I agree it looks more like a Marginated than a Spur-thigh, but like Lynn said a plastron picture is needed to tell for sure.

Its not a Marginated. It is a Male Spur thigh, don't know what subspecies he is though.

I agree it is a male Spur-thigh It very well could be a Moroccan spur-thigh, Testudo graeca marokkensis, but hard to tell with the way it has been raised.
