Looks Male

kinda looks like a testudo graeca whitei?

will probably be terribly wrong though lol

Charlottealotoftorts · 08-01-2013, 04:55 PM

Beautiful?....
That would be my best guess, based on the evidence! Lol

It's not as whtei, looks more Morrocan, a young oneI presume , their colour is less yellow as they get older? How lovely.

Fits T. antakyensis to a T... or... nabeulensis...

Gordon · 08-01-2013, 06:38 PM

Anybody else got any thoughts

Suze65 · 08-01-2013, 06:42 PM

No I'm confused now, I'm trying to google antakyensis to find out what the hec it is

**egyptiandan64** · 08-01-2013, 06:45 PM

Google Testudo graeca antakyensis Suze

Though it's not valid now as the name is now a junior synonym of Testudo graeca terrestris.
