His paper work says he is a Hermanns and his country or origin is Serbia, I just want to be sure to make sure I’m caring for him correctly
Serbia would make me lean towards a Eastern Hermanns but the solid black bands say Western, IMO. Chris can definitely confirm one way or another.


Care for Hermanns and Greeks are very similiar if not exactly similiar... Read the care sheets for each. I believe they are both written by Chris and have very few differences.

This is why it's important for everyone to help us by always identifying your tortoises in your threads. I've moved the thread to the Hermanns section.

100% an eastern Hermann’s tortoise, no question about it.
