Sally appears to resemble a whitei from Algeria, but she doesn't look big enough plus her carapace doesn't have the characteristic radiating pattern.

She is TGG from Algeria, but little research has been done to state a classification of its own.

I will try and post pictures of my trio up

That's exactly what I thought Darren. She's not big enough to be a T. g. whitei, nor does she have the color or scute dimensions on her carapace.
I agree a T. g. graeca from Algeria.
