Well not sure whether you would call them dwarf graeca graeca, but I know someone here keeps some graeca graecas from Oran and they're only very small.

Testudo hermanni hermanni are often known as dwarf hermanns. But quite often they aren't true hermanni hermanni and the shop is selling them as such as they sell at higher prices. There are very few hermanni hermanni in the UK
