Hey all, just wanted to introduce myself. Hermansmom and myself have a house full of animals. We have always been animal lovers, and myself in particular, reptiles. We have 3 Greyhounds, 3 Cats, 4 Bearded Dragons, 1 Green Patternless Burmese Python, 1 Snow Corn Snake, and now - 1 Sulcata named Herman Nimknocker (yes, the kids wanted that name lol). He was named before we realized there was actually a Herman Tortoise All our animals are rescues/adoptions of some kind.

We are both new to Tortoises, but have quite a bit of reptile and water turtle experience. We are both members of the Minnesota Herpetological Society and Hermansmom is a member of two Greyhound rescue organizations. We enjoy using our animals and experiences to educate the public (especially when it comes to reptiles - No, snakes are not slimey! lol)

I wanted to thank everyone who has been so helpful already! What a great community.

Hi! Awesome tort name. I love when kids name animals. I bet it'll be funny 50 years from now too. hehe

Thanks everyone for the wonderful welcome!

The funniest part about Hermans name is that when I was pregnant with my son, my daughter (6yrs old then) wanted to name him Herman Nimknocker and couldn't understand why I wouldn't do it

Hermansmom & dad it is very nice of you to allow your daughter to have her Hermans NimKnocker even if it wasn't her human baby brothers name.
