Hi everyone, I’m posting this with a very heavy heart. Come next week I’m moving to Italy for a three years. And I don't think that living inside a tiny apartment building would be good for my tortoise, and in addition, the regulations surrounding CITES species would make it very hard to bring...

Ok, he says that he does and they would be ready in June. But, I think I will give it more consideration before buying.

Who would you recommend as an alternative to Chris? I have not met many who breed Dalmatian Hermann's.

That is quite interesting. So, nobody knows if it is 'bad' or causes stress per se, but it is not known whether or not they actually like it either.

I see. I think that I can provide that space, although it is bigger than I had originally anticipated.

Interesting, there is a YouTuber called ThroughTheLeaves who specifically sprays their tortoise with water to get them to do this. Would that actually be bad/ stressful for the tortoise? (I don’t do this)

very cute

Soooo Cuuuuute

Thanks for your message. I appreciate you bringing all of this up. You’re totally right that tortoises are a big, long-term commitment, and it’s something I thought a lot about before and after getting Godzilla. Right now, I’m the one taking care of Godzilla and covering his expenses, but my...

That’s what I thought too — I actually got Godzilla from Chris. Everything went smoothly, but I know @Tom had some concerns and raised a few things that made me think a bit more critically. Always good to hear different opinions and weigh them out.

I was wondering about what you would recommend for an adults, for say 1.3 group. I think that I already have enough space to take care of them as babies.

What about as adults? I have a space of about 12 ft by 14 ft set out, would that be enough or would I have to increase the size?

Hey everyone, I’m thinking about possibly adding three more Dalmatian Hermann's tortoises to make a group of four Dalmatian Hermann’s tortoises and was wondering — what would be the recommended enclosure size for that many? Also, as a side note, are there any breeders you’d recommend...
