eastern hermann

Hi all, we got an Eastern Hermann Tortoise (Torro) on Saturday from the reptile expo in Sandy, UT. He is 14g and somewhere between 1-4 weeks old. We purchased the following at the expo, some of which I now realize isn't suitable through all my research on here over the last few days. We have the...

Hello, this is Tortellini, I’m pretty sure it’s a girl and she is 11 months old right now. She is my first one and I wanted to know how she looked to other more experienced tortoise caretakers. I’ve been very cautious of pyramiding and her weight. She is 5inch from shell to head and weighs...

Today completes the first day of my new hermanns hatchling. I went to go check on it and couldn't find it anywhere until I saw it's little but sticking out lol.

I have had my eastern hermann since January. She is usually very active, eats very well, and is bathed every 2 days (although she doesn't seem to like it) Yesterday she seems sluggish and less active. In the evening we noticed she had dug down into the substrate in the cool area of her table...

Hello, I am looking for someone who is willing to take care of two male Eastern Hermann’s, and they are 3-years old. Unfortunately, I have to go back to my home country, South Korea, because of my personal reason. I tried to find a way to move back with them, but I did not have a luck. After...

Just a quick question because from what i researched nobody made this question before. Should you keep western and eastern hermann tortoises together? and if one is a male and the other a female, what should happend if they mate? I also have a dalmatian tortoise, can i keep him with the eastern...

Hello everyone, just looking for some advice. This is hamish, our almost 4 year old eastern hermans. She is fed daily, has regular dunks in warm water, we use calci dust and other vitamin powder. Worried that she may be pyramiding? Any advice welcome. 😊

Hello there, This is my first time posting, I'm from the U.K and the proud owner of 2 little Eastern Hermann Tortoises, less than a year old. They've been doing great, eating well, sleeping appropriately, engaging in activities, being explorative and just being lively. I know they are still...

I have a three year old male Eastern Hermann Tortoise I need to rehome. He is free to a good home with enclosure and heat lamp with extra bulbs. I am located in Dayton. Please let me know if you have any questions.

What substrate should I use for my Eastern Hermann Tortoise? I was using coco fiber but then it got all in his water and now i’m using coco husk and he absolutely loves burrowing in it, but i’m not sure if that’s the best option. Recommendations?

Hi there! New to the forum, we’ve had our two Hermann’s since April. They’re about 1 year old now. We’re looking at a rough guide of how big they’ll grow in the future so we can plan for a new enclosure and have seen that there is a size difference in Eastern and Western. Would appreciate it if...

With a heavy heart, unfortunately and though I never expected my current situation, I'm searching for a home for my three year old eastern hermann, Kepler, approximately full grown and 5ish inches long in the shell. He has been well cared for, calcium and UVB/sunlight, varied diet of weeds and...

Hello, My Eastern Hermanns turned four this month and I was wondering if it’s still too soon to sex? Does anyone know if it’s male or female? Ignore how dirty he/she is, they were in the yard enclosure all day and I take them in at night.

Hello! I'm hoping to double check my plan and research with people familiar with brumation of eastern hermanns and similar. My eastern hermann tortoise Kepler is around a year and four months old, approximately 4.8-5 inches long in the shell, and 462 grams (giving heavier Jackson ratio of...

Hello, I haven't seen this asked previously and ginseng isn't listed on tortoise table or elsewhere, are the leaves tortoise safe? I have several around. They're ginseng ficus retusa. Eastern Hermann tortoise in question:

Hello, my eastern hermann tort is probably still a little young, but I heard you can sex them sometimes at above 4 inches long, and the tort is a bit longer than that measuring straight horizontally down the shell. Casually curious, as the tort was I believe temperature sexed at a higher chance...

Bath time for Kepler, my eastern hermann buddy c:

He's grown so much, from 1.25 inches to 3 inches in 5 months c:

Tortellini (Eastern Hermann) is about 4-6 months old and is 76g. I keep him in a vivarium because it is terribly dry in the winter (like my own body is cracking because it’s so dry). It’s around 70%~80% at all times. Cool zone 28c, hot zone 33c, central 30c. He had sun soak time until early...
