    Enclosure advice

    First of all, thank you for asking. Below you'll find the slightly revised version of your list. 1: I personally don't have great experiences with red bulbs, as they can make the tortoise eat the substrate all the time. (some people don't appear to have problems with them though, but i'd keep...

    Cherry head tortoise carapace

    Hey, if you want more response you should probably repost this in tortoise health! You've posted this in the North American Tortoises sector! :)

    @HermanniChris I also got some photos of his adults, the ones he claims are Dalmatian Tortoises. Sorry if I'm just peppering you with photos, I just want to be absolutely sure that they aren't hybrids or are. If they are I'll find a different breeder, as I want to breed in the future but don't...

    Thanks for the photos, I can definitely see the difference. I do hope he/she is not a mix as that would be the second time that happens, it seems to be the same with quite a lot of Danish breeders when it comes to impure Hermanns tortoises.

    I did ask him which species were in the photos he sent, but he hasn't responded yet.

    @HermanniChris He doesn't have any photos of the parents at the moment as they are brumating. I did get a few close-ups of my own little guy/gal's face and legs etc. As they are taken from the side and much closer, perhaps you'll be able to spot some key stuff in determining the subspecies...

    @HermanniChris Not sure if this link works, but these are the only photos I can find of the parents from him atm. file:///C:/Users/Bruger/Pictures/TS3%20Ranks/Billeder_Skildpadde,%20unger%202018,%20Sm%C3%A5....html

    Maybe it's an Eastern, he sells those as well. I'll ask if I can get photos of the parents though.

    I have on other enclosure ready for use as well and can build a third one with ease in case the trio can't thrive together.

    Update: bought two Dalmation Hatchlings more from the same guy and they'll be living with the one I have as a trio in a 6x4 enclosure (will be closed chamber), which will have loads of plants and hiding spots. They will be sent Monday and arrive Tuesday.

    I've already got another enclosure prepared for the new one! :) I've heard that the baby Hermanns do function alright together, is this true?

    I need help identifying this little Hermann's tortoise! The person I bought it from says it's a Dalmatian Hermann/Testudo Hermanni Hercegovinensis, and I can't see why that wouldn't be true. But since I might order another tortoise from him, I'd like to be sure. Thanks in advance!
