Testudo marginata weissingeri

Alex · 15-10-2006, 08:31 PM

I was looking up marginated tortoises and came across this sub species I'd never heard of before called Testudo marginata weissingeri. Does anyone know much about them, how they differ from the more common sub species, or even have pictures?
Many thanks
Al
