I'm still trying to decide on my first tort/turtle. In looking at Hermann's, I'm not sure if our climate here in south Louisiana is a little extreme for Hermann's to be healthy, regarding heat and humidity.
Our minimum daily humidity is between 50-60%, year round.
Our maximum daily humidity is between 80-90%, year round.
Our minimum daily temps range from freezing to 72.
Our maximum daily temps range from 60-95+.
From June through much of September, temps are in the 90s and humidity in 80% and sometimes more (or less, in a drought).
The combination of heat plus humidity sometimes pushes the heat index to 103 or so.
I am thinking this type of heat and humidity, especially for the 4 summer months, might be too stressful for a Hermann's?
What do you Hermann's people think?
