Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Based on the identifying features in the photos shown these are Eastern Hermann's, (Testudo hermanni boettgeri), not Westerns, (Testudo hermanni hermanni).

They look like hybrids to me. They have spots and gaps in black bands of their plastron

There are multiple features lacking that would identify them as Westerns. Most obvious is their complete lack of contrasting yellow and black coloration, the inconsistency in the black banding on the plastron, the comparative length of the center scute seams of the pectoral and femoral plastral scutes, the difference in the general shape of the keyhole on the 5th vertebral scute. This is just to name a few. The faded grey coloration on most of the plastral scutes and bridge areas can also be an indication of hybridization.

A friend just alerted me to this.
Possible to share the woman’s name? It wouldn’t be the first time someone claimed that. It also wouldn’t be the first time someone claimed that I gave a positive ID on animals and then offered different ones for sale but still claimed that I gave the ID. And yes, those are without any doubt, hybrids.

Thanks Gary and Chris. I didn’t want to be called bad names again, lol.
I’d definitely contact Chris before acquiring any “western” Hermann’s in the future. Few people out there I would trust buying an adult from, and both Chris and Gary are in the group. I get eastern’s in that I fear are hybrids and reach out to Chris. I won’t even breed a hybrid to an eastern. They’re only pets. Please consider that with who you sell these to.
Thanks
