you mean T. hermanni hercegovinensis, not hermanni hermanni.

LOL..too fun. Thanks so much for your postings Chris! It was in searching about the hermann's that I happened upon your wonderfully informative and sensical sheets, and of course this site . I have checked out your amazing tortoises on suggested websites and am in awe of them. I was just curious as to whether you preferred the thh to the thb, simply due to appearance or if there is something else that makes them more appealing to you? I think that both are wonderful animals, and if it is meant to be perhaps I will have a little colony of thb in the future...not sure when/if they will be/are available in Canada.

Cheers and thanks loads for the info.!
ps when it comes time to hibernate, I might be feeling the need to pester you as it terrifies me

My favorites of any tortoise or turtle are the Thh. There's just a million things about them it seems, that has made me dedicate myself to them. Of course I do all I can for all my tortoises and turtles but I absolutely adore the Thh. It took me YEARS and plenty of $$ to find real pure bred adults here in the U.S. but it was more than worth it. I love my Thb as well and Mediterranean tortoises as a whole are my main focus, with Thh being my main "thing".

Glad you like the posts and the photos and feel free to ask away when you have questions. If I don't get to it quick enough, someone on here will and they'll do a great job.
