A gorgeous tort! I think it is a Greek tort. (It looks a lot like Oli; my Greek tort).

And a very warm welcome to the forum!

Hm-m-m-m...Hermanns? Greek? Marginated? How about Egyptian or one of the other testudos? Let's ask @HermanniChris he'll give us the right scoop.

I think it's a sub specie of the Greek tortoise but really not sure.

Thank you and Thanks to @HermanniChris in advance

when I bought it they told be they bring this specie from Syria, but not sure if that's going to help in identifying it .

thanks again

This one stands right out. A few people got this one right. It's a Greek tortoise and more specifically a Tunisian (Testudo graeca nabeulensis).
