What species
I follow garden state tortoise on instagram , they have just posted about the Testudo Graeca anamurensis. I’ve never heard of it, obviously it’s a graeca, so I’m guessing from North Africa , but can anyone tell me any more, I’m curious, as I have an interest in graecas. What country are they from, Gordon ?

But it doesn’t say which country it’s from, is that the Ibera , that we all know from Turkey? But just didn’t know it’s fancy name ? Or is it another North African
Ok I’ve found the blurb on it now, very interesting. A rare Turkish species, looks very similar to the Ibera.

I can spend so much time browsing his website and just admiring all the photos.
I hadn't noticed his tatts until you pointed them out, Clare. They're faded so I expect he's had them for a while. Maybe he has a mate with a tattoo gun....

Sorry Suze you actually did say that on your original post. It must have been the tattoos...
