Can anyone ID this tortoise? ... she was a childhood pet bought around 1968 .. she grew to about 14lbs ..so quite big, This is the only photo I have, she is now in a tortoise sanctuary after my parents passed away
Thanks Tim

I would say it's an old tgg and very nice too.

I agree an old TGG possibly a Whitei.

For me it looks like an elongated tortoise (Indotestudo elongata)

Definitely a Tgg and what is known as a whitei.

I am staying by elongated. First of all he/she is too big for a graeca. Have anyone seen a 14 lb greek??? And the colour pattern is also matching.

Sorry but I knew a lady with a five plus kilo female graeca, she was a beauty.
Certainly not an elongate:0)
