Testudo graeca graeca (T.g.g.)
Spur thighed tortoise
Not to be confused with the African spurred tortoise as this is a completely different species which will grow to be huge in comparison.
These tortoises originate from North Africa, Spain and the Balearic Islands, where temperatures at the lowest offer 9 hours of full spectrum light over 32.5°C (90.5°F) producing a hot and dry climate for most of the year.
