I have been reading some of the post recently about tortoises contracting herpes. I never knew they could even get that till now. I was just wondering the way they get it, is it only through tortoise to tortoise contact. I had a read they can also get it if we handle another tortoise that has it and then handle a healthy one. Is there any other way they can contract it? Other than when he was a baby with his brothers and sisters, he has had no contact with other tortoises and probably never will. Is it something that they can just develop? Or pick up from the environment?
