robertsutton1978 · 08-02-2013, 03:06 PM

Hi All

I was wondering if anyone could help me with the ID of this tortoise.
I have been told it is a Female hermanni hermanni.
I would appreciate peoples thoughts as I'm not sure.

Thanks for any Help

Looks like a male hermanni hermanni.

Do you have any pictures of the top of the shell.

I agree

Male, Testudo hermanni hermanni

Hi

Thanks for such fast replies.
The seller said they were certain it was a female!
Would it help if I got more pictures of the tail, or are you certain that it's a male from what you can see ?
Sorry, I'm hopeless at ID

Thanks again
Robert

Certain as i'll ever be.. many sellers try to fob males off as female hoping they'll fetch a higher price

I'm 100% sure he's a he

Tail looks identical to my males.

Hi

Thanks to everyone for your help.
It's disappointing as I wanted a female, but at least I've saved going on a 160mile round trip.

Thanks Again
