I saw this guy in Krasne Gorge in SW Bulgaria in June last year and id'ed it to Testudo hermanni. But I'm in doubt - could it be T. graeca?

Thanks,

Thomas

Hi Cristian,

Unfortunately not. I know now that would probably have settled the case, but I wasn't aware of it then.

I guess you are right Steve. I was just hoping that someone with more experience with the two species knew something that wasn't in my books.
