Perhaps, @HermanniChris is the best in identifying Greeks subspecies. I hope he will be able to chime in and answer.

Hi, they’re Testudo graeca marrokensis (Moroccan tortoises).

Thank you!
I've read your post on recognizing Greeks subspecies but still struggle to tell one from another. And thank you for your GST videos on YouTube!

It certainly isn’t an easy task with the Greeks, even with the purest specimens. Hermann’s are a bit different especially when you’re truly holding the real thing. Of course, all the hybrids out there make things much harder than they have to be. Thanks for watching the vids!
