So hard to be sure because it's a quite old tortoise.

Thank you!. . . oh, and "Welcome to the Forum!!"
Yes please that would be awesome! I was thinking it’s a Buxtoni?This I.D. is a job for our @HermanniChris
This tortoise is the reason I have such a hard time identifying the Greek tortoises. All of the Greeks that have come through my rescue look like your tortoise. And yet, most of the Greeks we see on the Forum are quite colorful - tan, black - a nice pattern on the shell. I'll just never get it.
Welcome. You have a Syrian Testudo graeca terrestris otherwise known as the Mesopotamian tortoise “aka the golden Greek” and yet another reason why the term golden Greek is inaccurate! Beautiful animal
Yes I am purchasing a scale this afternoon and will post ASAP
