Are These Egyptians? Proper ID needed.

[Maro2Bear]

Greetings

Just received a question from friends who recently moved to Amman, Jordan. Their gardener thought their kids might enjoy some pet tortoises walking about the yard, but didnt give them a clue what kind they were. Thus their query, What kind of tortoises did we just get? what do we feed them?

Once we properly ID, I'll make sure they get a link to proper feeding and care. The names on the tort's backs are water based and wash right off.

So, here's the pix.

There are three different types of Egyptions , mine are light colored , these look to be Greeks but I could be wrong .

I agree they look Greek but @HermanniChris would know for sure. You may need to wash them down and post other pictures from different angles for a correct Id

They are certainly not Egyptians whatsoever. They are Greek tortoises.

Thanks everyone, and @HermanniChris for the positive ID. I'll make sure the new keepers get the proper links so they can privide good care. Hopefully some more pix too. Apparently, the gardener/neighbor has many others in his collection.
