African spur thighed = sulcata which these are definately not.

They are a mederrterrainean spur thighed of some sort. Not any good on med spur thighs so couldn't tell you what sort. Below is an African spur thighed (sulcata).

Not saying that you're wrong, but you are aware that in the animal world males bonk males and females bonk females aren't you? At least they all 'go through the motions', whether they're the correct sexed pairs or not!

Yes, hence we have Steve the redfoot who is actually a girl. We saw mating activity, eggs were laid, just it was the same tortoise doing both! Took a clutch or two for us to realise!

By the way, I have no opinion on whether the ones being discussed are either - just that it can be confusing!

Bearing in mind Spur-thighed torts (T. graeca) are found throughout Africa north of the sahara. T avoid confusion I refer to G. sulcata as 'sulcatas' or 'african spurred torts'

OK THEN SO IF THEY R SPUR'S HOW DO I GET PAPERS FOR THEM.

AND IM GUESSING I COULDNT SELL THEM ON,BUT COULD I SELL ANY YOUNG ON THAT I GET IF I WAS TO GET SOME AND ALSO IF I DID GET THEM WOULD I HAVE TO APPLIE FOR PAPERS FOR THEM ONES 2???????
