I happened to stumble on this sight while I was searching for info on my Hermanns Tortoise. I was thrilled when I seen this and I'm hoping to get some of my questions answered.
Anyway, I'm from Ont. Canada and I was searching for a Hermanns for about 6 months, finally a guy who we bought a python from has a friend out in BC that bred them as a hobby, he's a vet full time and he offered to go pick up a hatchling for me and fly it over the same time as he shipped the python for us.
I was so excited to get her, she arrived safe and I believe she's an Eastern after reading some of the threads on here, maybe someone can confirm this for me. She's also about 8 months old(had her since Nov.), I say she because apparently he incubated them to hatch out females but time will tell.

I'm looking forward to meeting all of you.

Hi Harriett,
Welcome to the forum. :D Your new Hermanns looks great. Well it's not a Western Hermanns, but it could be Eastern or Dalmation Hermanns. We'd need to see a claer plastron shot to tell for sure.
