calamarian, we aren't ignoring you, but most of us are reluctant to say, they are not easy to identify and without knowing the origin it is really tough. Good looking tortoises whatever they are. vic h.

Thanks Vic. I've never posted here before, so I was wondering. It was someone's pet, so no idea on it's origin.

Has characteristics of Jordanian and Syrian specimens. Definitely not Turkish or Lebanese or North African. How large is it? When was it obtained?

It is 5 1/2 inches. Was someone's pet. Not much other info available. The carapace looks Ibera, but the skin color and size raise questions.
