Researching Tortoises

[K9KidsLove]

Before I decided on my Hermann's tort I was online day and night researching. My husband thought I was nuts! But, after I knew what I was getting I talked to other turtle/tort people and found a really great breeder. We emailed back and forth for a while before I finally said, "Send me my baby!" He also recommended a great book for Mediterraneans called, Chelonian Library Volume 2: Hermann's Tortoise Boettger's and Dalmatian Tortoises, by Holger Vetter. I look at it a lot - along with close to 10 other books I bought just in case . I wanted to know everything. The more you know, the more you can relax and enjoy.

Jeri...where did you get the Holger Vetter book? How much?

I found it on Amazon for $52-$59
http://lllreptile.com/store/catalog/reptile-books-and-magazines/turtle-and-tortoise-books/ for $49.00
Just type in the author and it should give you quite a list of his books.

right now, i only have few books (e.g: turtle and tortoise for dummies.. ) and some textbooks of turtle and tort. but usually, i joined forums to get knowledge from expert in that forum.. so, i can learn how to take care my tort well..
