It's definitely a Greek, but can't really tell on the photos as they are to yellowy.
I am thinking female.
Can you post better photos?:D

Greek tortoises for sure, tough to tell by the photos, based on pics #1,2 & 3 but they look to be Ibera. The low light in pics #4 & 5 make it difficult to see any patterns or true skin coloration.

Based on the below photo and information, definitely a Greek tortoise!

Arrow to the far left points to the "spur" on the thigh (hence the sometimes used common name "Spur-thighed"); bottom right arrow points to the lack of a hard, nail-like tip as found on all Hermann's, but on no Gracea subspecies; top two right photos point to individual scute patterns and seam structure that is different than Hermann's.

Yes, a greek for sure. My first thought was Jordanian, but it may be an Ibera (just guesses!)

Looks like Ibera greeks, One is Male and one is Female not sure about the other cannot see it to well.:)

The difference between Hermans and greeks apart from the spurs is that the hermans have 2 tail scutes and greeks have a single scute.
