That subspecies is not listed above specifically, but it is included in the range for the species.

A little bit yeah, but with the coloration of shell, plastron and the colour of their heads you can determine the sub species,it's easier also when you have the tort in your hand rather than pics.GeoTerraTestudo said:bikerchicspain said:Ah!!!!!

Testudo graeca nabeulensis is also known as the Tunisian spur-thighed tortoise, so its part of the range is in northern Tunisia and Algeria. The type specimen for this subspecies was collected in Nabeul, Tunisia, which is a coastal town at the base of the Cap Bon (Watan el-kibli) peninsula.
Say, how do you know that you have this particular subspecies of T. graeca? It must be incredibly difficult to figure out subspecies of T. graeca, no?
