I got my Hermann tortoise today from pets101! He (or she) is so cute! I haven't decided on a name yet.
First two pics: first soaking and drying!

It's fine. No, my family has just always wanted to go to Sante Fe, but my dad might get an offer from people in Boise. I hope Sante Fe, because I hear that it's good for Tortoises to get sun, and eat cacti!

Hello, I am Max, and I am currently in Northern GA (soon to move!). Although I don't have a Tortoise yet, I plan to get a Herman soon. I hope that there will be abundant info on this site for being a Tortoise owner!
