Sheldon was bought as a "well started" ~6mo old Eastern Hermanns,and we have had him for about 3 weeks. The more reading I do and pictures I see I'm somewhat questioning what "he" is: shell pattern, and coloration (skin in particular). Looking for help with a positive identification so I can be sure I'm providing the proper care. ThanksIMG_1821.JPG IMG_1820.JPG

That is 100% without a single doubt a Marginated tortoise. The dark chevrons of the plastron are a dead giveaway. No Hermann's or Greek will have that.
