hello

My name is Scott, I'm currently NOT a tortoise owner, but am looking towards getting one in the near future. I'd really like to find a juvenile male western Hermann's if possible, but may have to take the gamble on a hatchling and see what he/she turns out to be

Hello and Welcome Do your research on here so you can get your enclosure all ready and temps and humidity worked out so when you find you new friend, you will be all ready for him/her. Really good that your preparing ahead of time.

already getting the habitat ready, so when I finally find my little friend, I can simply put him in and start taking care of him/her. I used to have a female slider, but had to rehome her a couple of years ago. Always thought tortoises would be better for me, so here I am to read and learn

Hi Scott, and welcome to the Forum!!

The caption under your avatar should read:

So called tortoise expert, "You know, of course, that sulcatas should not be given fruit."

New tortoise keeper, "But I only gave him ONE strawberry!"

Hello Scott and welcome to this amazing forum

Looks like I'll be pulling the trigger on getting my tort, once I call around on Tuesday, after the holiday weekend.

Going for a male eastern Hermann's. Hopefully one of the places on my list has a young, sexed specimen ready for me

looking at getting it from LLLReptile, or TurtleSource.

I really wish that I could get him as a hatchling, but I prefer to raise male animals, and with torts you can't tell when they are too young
