I'm sorry if this post is a repeat of anything that has been said before.
I accidentally gained a couple of Greek tortoises.
Unfortunately I do not know them very well.
Please help determine the type of these tortoises, likely they came to Cyprus from Turkey.

Can it be Testudo graeca ibera?

From their origin Ibera, but to say by their appearance its too early; all greeks look very similar as hatchlings.
