Help me ID my tortoise? :)

[FrankieBaby]

Here's Frankie, my male (I think) tortoise. Gave "it" a gender-neutral name since I've never known for sure...

I think he might be a Greek tortoise. What do you think?

Looks like a male Hermann tortoise to me. Beautiful, although he does appear to have some pyramiding on his carapace, and his beak would benefit from being worn down.

Your tortoise is a male Eastern Hermann's, Testudo hermanni boettgeri. He doesn't actually show pyramiding, it's accelerated growth which shows up in nearly all body parts.

I second the Hermann vote, but i don't know enough about gender to tell :-/ Nice tort though

Thanks for pointing those things out... definitely going to look into a more specific diet plan now that I know he's probably a Hermann tortoise!

Would be good to see a profile shot so we can get a better look at his carapace.
