Please excuse the quality'hard to take when he wont stay still long enough..One is a comparison to show how "big" little he is









Hope I posted these right

I'm not real sure, because the pictures are sorta' fuzzy, but my take on Boris is that he's NOT a Russian. Maybe some sort of Greek? or Hermann's??

WHAT???
OH MY I BEST GO HAVE HIM SEEN ABOUT, MAKE SURE WHAT HE IS

Yup looks like a Greek tortoise, Testudo graeca, to me too. Would need clearer pictures and a plastron picture to give a go at subspecies.

Now I am scared if he is Greek he needs dry not humid, I have been keeping him as a Russian.
I will take more pics now
thank you

Aw-w-w-w! He's just a teeny tiny baby! You don't get a grasp of his size until you see the shot where he's in the fingers! Cute little guy. Don't worry about your care of him. I'm sure you haven't harmed him. But now you get to do some more research! Love that reading.
