What breed am I?

[Timmy22653]

Hello all!

Does anybody know what breed Timmy is, please?

He's been in the family 47 years and I'm about to inherit him. He had 2 owners before this - so we're unsure of his actual age. However, we'd say he's max 55.

I believe he might be a Greek? But any confirmation would be grateful appreciated!

Thank you,

Species. Not breed. There are no breeds of tortoises.

Sorry - I will be new to ownership and am i the research stage. A lot to learn still

Looks like an old hermanns tortoise, but im not for certain

It might be hard to tell at that age, but let's ask @TeamZissou

I will be able to provide more pictures when he comes into my care, especially of his bum and feet, which I understand help with identification?

This looks like an Ibera Greek. Do you have any photos of the plastron that you could post?
