new tortoise

[Gemmay]

Hi everyone
I joined this morning and didn't realise I should post here to start. We've just brought my brother a tortoise from a friend who in turn had it brought for her. I'd like to know what she is, as I've been told possibly a sulcata or possibly a hermans and just want to know so I know the best way to care for her. I was told she's around 2 years old so understand that means we don't know what sex she is yet. I don't know if this makes any difference but she has 5 claws on her font legs and 4 on her back.
I did post in another thread already and I'd like to thank the people that replied already.

I'm no expert on these guys. I'm thinking though either hermanns or greek. I'm also thinking male.

Hi Gemmay, and welcome to the Forum!

It's not a russian, but it is one of the Testudo species. I've sent a shout-out to one of our more knowledgeable members in your other thread for help with the identifying.
