Hi all! I had been looking at a Hermann's Tortoise for so long and went to the pet store to get decorations and substrate for the enclosure I just built while I waited for the exotic pet store to have tortoises back in.
Petco to my surprise had a "Hermann's Tortoise" for sale and I was so exited that I got my tort right then and there. The employee wasn't sure if it was male or female so I just say "him" for now, and estimated the tort to be 1-2 years old - but he wasn't sure since it was only is 2nd day at the store and wasn't familiar with all the animals yet.
I thought it may have been an Eastern Hermann's because of how light the shell is, but the more I look at my little guy I don't think that's the case. I've only had him for 3 days and I plan on keeping him - just want to know exactly what Mediterranean species he is so I can provide the absolute best care.
Attached are pictures! Any help on identification would be really helpful!
