Hi everyone

i came across this forum and thought id join and get advice as i am thinking of buying a herman tortoise this month as i have been wanting one for years.

Are these tortoises particularly hard to look after?


thanks for any information you can give me

Welcome to the forum. We have 3 Hermanns that are yearlings now. We have raised them from the very beginning. We adore them. We think they are a great beginner tortoise. They are a lot of fun and very personable. Ours are always at the front of their habitat in the morning waiting for their food. In fact, during the day if anyone bumps their habitat, they will all come forward looking for handouts. They are great torts. Where do you live?

personally I have found more UK keepers of hermann's than US keepers. I wonder why? They sound like neat little torts.
