He is T.h.boettgeri
He has very long inguinal scutes Alex. When T.h.hercegovinensis have inguinal scutes they are short. It is always possible he is the newly described subspecies from Peloponnese. I haven't seen the paper yet or a very good description, so really can't tell.Danny

I forgot about inguinal scutes
 thanks dan , he looks quite large as well, would his size also be an indicator that he is t.h.b dan? Thanks
