What is the difference between a Dalmatian Hermann's and an Eastern or Western? I found a couple of Herman's yearlings at Turtles and Tortoises Inc, one of which is a Dalmatian. Just wondering.

There's a great sticky note at the top of the Hermann's page that explains all of the physical differences between the three sub-species! In general, Dalmatians tend to be in-between Westerns and Easterns in terms of size (though not always the case). Westerns tend to have much more black on their bellies than the other two.
