This is a male Greek I just bought, he will be here tomorrow. Any ideas on what kind he is? He has been a pet for 10 years and has a little issue with his plastron, but I think he will be fine once he gets to Heaven... er I mean Iowa:D

I'd need a straight down from the top carapace picture to be sure, but he looks like a Lebanonese Antakyan greek, T.g.antakyensis, to me. The time period fits with him coming out of Lebanon too.
