    Testudo Hermanni Hermanni?

    I think they are cute regardless. I like to think of my Eastern from Petsmart as a rescue. :)

    Sex and eastern/western?

    Actually, yes! It was on the first day I owned her (so I thought) and I thought, that's weird that a female would urinate like that- at least that's what I thought it was doing. It was my first suspicion.

    Confused about outdoor habitat

    Cleo is an Eastern Hermanns and is 4.75 inches. Temps have been in the mid 80s in the day and 70s at night. But yesterday it was probably high 70s in the day and mid 60s at night.

    I live in Ft Lauderdale and the temps stay within the ranges that I've read for Hermanns. I've only had my tort Cleo for 8 wks so this will be my first time going into the cooler months with him. Cleo has a tank that he is usually only in over night. His lights are set for 12 hrs on and they go...

    Looking for hermanns in Florida

    I recently bought one from Petsmart in Sunrise FL but I notice they went fast. You could call them and see if they have any in stock around the area you live in.

    Hi from Cleo (Hermanns) and Jen

    I purchased Cleo from Petsmart about 6-8 weeks ago. Details on how that went until now can be found here: http://www.tortoiseforum.org/showthread.php?tid=82069 Since spending a bunch of time researching I am questioning the sex of Cleo. Petsmart said she was a girl but her tail is like a...

    HELP PLEASE....

    Hi, it's so interesting that I came here to introduce myself and found this thread. I also purchased a Hermanns from Petsmart (Sunrise, FL). Mine was in great shape but it definitely took about 5-6 days to get her to eat. The pets store workers sounded like they knew what they were talking about...
