: It is probably graeca graeca. I know that doesn't help you but they did come in with the 'syrian' or 'golden tortoise'. They look like a typical Greek tortoise but the skin has an orange tinge to it. Like I said i'm pretty sure they are from morocco.

Yes, these are very nice torts. I have had a female for a few months now. She is eating like a champ and is showing nice growth. The orange/pink skin is very nice. I now need to find a nice looking male for her. As Ed said, they stay fairly small. Mine is less than 6 inches. She has a great personality and will eat from my hand. I believe it is graeca graeca, but someone else has said that they may be graeca terrestris. I don't know for sure, but I like mine.

Take Care,
Jeff
