He looks like his ancestors are from the European mainland, especially if his A10 says he is UK bred. Danny

unfortunately the stupid shop told me it was a SHE and so her name is LILY. But...since then, I have found that it is a HE.

Yes it was more helful than my book on med. tortoises. Tommorow I'm looking at mine more closely especially the plastron as I suspect its iberan although the tortoise trust weighed him once and wrote down graecia spur thighed. It just goes to show ! amph55
