Im a first time tortoise owner and I'm going to visit my two 16 month old Hermans today at the breeders house. We aren't going to be collecting them for another few weeks but I was wondering wether there were any questions in particular I should be asking..?

You want to always find out the basics....what they have been eating, what substrate they have been using, temps, etc. the more you know about the little ones you are getting the better prepared you will be.

I completely agree with jesst. Ask whatever it is you feel that you want to know. I don't think that you could ask a stupid question so ask away! The more you know about their present care, the better you'll be suited to take care of them when they're yours.
Oh man! You have to wait another week!? That is going to be torture! Can you take some pics?? Good luck! :)

Just to ad to everyone else suggestions, I would definitely find out their routine,
as far as when they are fed, lights on/off and when they are weighed.
Animals, especially torts are creatures of habit and you can greatly
reduce any stress on them by keeping their routine the same at first
when you bring them home.
Once they have settled in then you can go about altering things to
suit your lifestyle.
Good luck hope to see some pics.
