Anyone can recognize the subspecies for my Testudo Graeca?
So i was given two tortoises recently from a guy he had absolutely no idea which species they were. This man had bought some tortoises when he was younger. He kept them in his garden (in Malta EU -climate is very similar to their own) and fed them greens. they survived and now twenty years later they are now laying eggs that actually hatch but he told me all his hatchings were not surviving the first year. I have my own opinion what sub species but need someone to confirm. I am sure they are spur thigh Testudo Greaca because the spurs are visible.
Can someone identify the subspecies please?
