They are T.g.graeca found in the Oran region of Algeria. They are the T.g.graeca holotype, or in other words the first discovered and named T.g.graeca, basically the blueprint for T.g.graeca identification is based on them.

She looks like a very content torty

She doesnt look very big though? What sort of tort is she again?
Thanks..very proud, she is a tiny little thing but I have no idea of her origin as she belonged to the previous owners parents, I have seen a pic of them with her and she really is looking as good as she did then! x
