What beautiful family !!!❤🐢🐢🐢💕💞. You said that she's a spur thigh tortoise. For some reason, I thought spur thigh tortoises were only Sulcatas. She looks like an Eastern Hermann's. Do spur thighs relate to other species as well ? I'm new to the tortoise world, so I'm still learning and I'm curious.🤔

Hi, thanks for your comment. My tortoises are Greek Spur Thighed tortoises, Testudo Graeca Ibera. Sulcatas are African Spurred tortoises. It is confusing. Spur thighed can look like hermann's but they have a couple of differences. The most obvious one being the little spurs on their thighs. I hope this helps 🐢
