Hopefully It Has Stopped...

The weather has been absolutely miserable for a whole week here in NJ. Not good for the tortoises. So, I had to bring the tortoise groups in until the rain and low temps quit. Finally, normal warm weather is back. Here they are the T. h. hermanni getting ready to go back out.....they look very anxious. :shy:

Wow, you have so many of them, they are beautiful. It looks like they can't wait to be outside

 

[Meg90]

I'm counting 23...does that sound right?

the one on the very end in the first picture i think is asking for a boost out, lol.

How cool to see bunches of Hermanns in a sort of mosaic.

Chris, I know what you mean it is suppose to drop in temps here again next week and so My torts are in and out, in and out. But I do think that little one in the first pic is thinking the others will just bunch up under him and push him up and out. Better watch that one. I think he might be looking at the long walk to my house
Thanks for sharing the pics with us They are beautiful.

great pics-- I know what you are talking about -- we live in Mass. and have to watch the weather every morning to decide how much heat to keep on charlie.

 

[HermanniChris]

Thanks everyone....yes they wanted out bad...they are now enjoying the good weather in their outdoor units.

There are 30 in total, couldn't get them all in the shot.

 

[Jacqui]

Gosh didn't know you had so many of them. Sure makes a wonderful picture.

These critters sure are cool, one or many, does not matter! I assume some of these are for sale?

 

[HermanniChris]

Thank you No, no none of these are for sale or ever will be , they are part of a very important and thriving breeding colony that reside here. Hatchlings will be available this year, I can put you on my waiting list.

Thanks again everyone.

they are western hermanns right? i get my scientific names confused. These guys are tough to find, now i know why hope there are babies soon!

 

[HermanniChris]

Yes they are Western Hermann's. I've hatched out a decent amount of the last few years but this year looks very promising.
