I think its a greek but I could be wrong

 

[Kristina]

Head looks a little odd for a Greek, legs are also oddly spikey.... leaning towards Greek though...

Couldn't be a Chaco, could it???

 

[Jessadawn]

I know its not a red foot. But it's face really looks like one but shell is way wrong.could it be a cross breed?

 

[Kristina]

No. There isn't anything other than a Yellowfoot that a Redfoot could crossbreed with.

I'm REALLY thinking it may however be a Chaco. Why the heck can't I ever find a Chaco? Someone should snap that torty up.

Judging by the mosaic pattern on that tortoise's shell, I don't think it's any of the South American species. I think it's either a Testudo or an Indotestudo. I'm leaning toward Greek or Hermann, and more toward Hermann.

 

[ewam]

I think it is a Greek because I think a Herman would have a darker shell.

If it is a chaco 200 is a steal, bu to my unexpert eyes it looks like a hermanns.

Looks like an underweight Greek.

 

[fbsmith3]

Underweight is right. Tank(!) included. Definetly abused from neglect. Offer them $100 cash for just the turtle and let them keep everything else.

 

[Pokeymeg]

Looks like a really faded Herman....How can you tell it is underweight by the picture?

 

[68merc]

Hope its a Hermanns I just bought him for $85. Wife is going to kick me...

 

[AnthonyC]

Hey good look with him! And put on a football helmet before you tell the wife!
