Unexpected surprise

[PLesage]

Found this guy at a park. 100% not native to the area and doubt it ran away. So someone dumped it and we have taken it in. Sooooo, what is it? There are a couple it resembles but don't know for sure.

Can you post top and bottom pictures of the tortoise? It would be easier to ID it that way.

 

[PLesage]

Here he/she is.

Wow! What a find!!! I'm not good at identifying the Mediterranean species. They pretty much all look the same to me. I was going to say Greek, however, I don't see the spurs on the thighs of his back legs. So I really don't know. But give it a day or so. Someone will come along and I.D. it for you. Maybe a Marginated?

This is from Hermanni Chris's thread under Hermanns tortoises

Looks like the Marginated but with spikey legs

This does look quite similar to the Marginated Tortoise, but let's ask Chris directly. @HermanniChris , please ID the tortoise in this thread. Is it a Marginated or something else?

Thanks,

Bill

 

[HermanniChris]

Marginated tortoise all the way.
