    New to Tortoise Forum from Northern California

    Yea I'd agree with Yvonne that Sheldon is Russian. The easiest way to tell is to look at the plastron pattern as Russian, marginated, greeks and Hermanns don't share the same pattern. And oh yes Russian likes climbing a lot!!

    Greek tortoise?

    Hi Jesse - TeamZissou is right, it's definitely an eastern Hermanns. The care for Hermanns and most Greeks are similar though. I have both Ibera Greeks and Eastern Hermanns and they live side-by-side happily.

    Help identify my Hermann's

    gender?

    My male hermanns has much longer tail than that, so I'd say female for now but keep watching as sometimes when the tortoise is not fully mature and still growing. Also in my experience, when I soak my tortoise the male will sometimes "flash" his thing so you'll know.

    Plz help :( (spots on shell)

    Nothing to worry about now. You will see if your tortoise is not healthy, i.e. it becomes lethargic, stops eating, etc. then you'd need to worry.

    newbie looking for help!!

    Welcome to the forum!! I have few Hermann's myself and I found that they are one of the easiest to raise, so just relax a bit. If your tortoise is really a few months old then it's natural for it to experience rapid growth, especially in captivity where we tend to overfeed the tortoise. Maybe...

    Too Cold?

    Well if you decide to let Mr. Tibbs outside all day and night, just be careful of predators like racconns here in the US and they're nocturnal.

    Hello!

    Aubs - welcome to TFO. My bias advice is keep the tortoises and get rid of everything else if your husband thinks you have too many...:D
