what kind of tortoise is this?

I purchased this guy at daytona. I forgot what it was. The breeders said it was from iraq(?) or someplace in the middle east. he said something about how these are misidentified because of their origin. It gets smaller than a greek . About 5" as an adult.

Are you sure it is not a libian, tunusian, Syria or Beirut?

No it's none of those. There aren't any Tunisians in the US that I've ever seen. I breed Libyans and it's not a Libyan hatchling. I also breed Antakyans from Syria and Lebanon and it's not one of those.
It looks exactly like my Jordanian hatchling.
