Does anyone see a behavioral or personality difference between male and female Hermann's? I am about to buy my tort, but females (which I wanted) cost a hundred dollars more than the males, and I hadn't budgeted for that difference- :-(
Males vs females?

Female Hermann's are generally less active and less agressive than males by comparison. Not really any other differences than their overall adult size.
Are the people you are buying from sure of the sexes? Are they even old/big enough to be sexed yet?
I bought it from Tyler at Tortoise Supply. The tort is 4-5 inches long. I've seen nothing but rave reviews about Tyler on this forum, which is why I was willing to take the chance...
I do not have both sexes. I have a female. From what I see. She is really laid back. Now I hear males are more aggressive.
Funny that my female is 2x more active than my male. When they we together I assumed it was the female dominating due to her size but now that they're seperated the female crawls all over the place while the male only moves when I give him food....hmmmm?
