Josh It's not a hermanns tortoise. It's got ibera greek in it, but I'm having trouble figuring out what else. Might be hermanns or North African graeca. Does it have thigh spurs? or a nail at the end of the tail? A split supracaudal scute? It looks like a male to me also

Its not mine, but i have some photos of her-
Looking at her now, i wouldn't say hermanns because of the patterns around her outside scutes (names on the tip of my tounge.....) She doesn't appear to have spurs as such, but i am not very good at identifying species to be honest... |

Well from the blurry picture I can see thigh spurs and no nail at the end of the tail. The supracaudal isn't split. It's a greek. It might be pure graeca. Hard to tell with out better pictures.

Thanks Dan, i'll get back to the owners
I noticed the lack of tail nail, but thought this may be due to deformity. Josh |

I actually think it looks like a Horsefield. Obviously I don't know half what you lot know though.

Terry yours does look like an Ibera from the single shot and not disimilar from Josh's animal.
Here are two of the Tunisians i have had handed in x holiday suvieneris they are almost identical in markings colour etc. before anyone goes reporting me to defra ,RSPCA,or the local council i have a licence to hold these animals so don't bother wasting peoples times . Darren
