Florida care?

[t_mclellan]

Just a quick question.
I know very little on the husbandry & am curious.
I'm sure there are a few Florida residents keeping T. hermanni or graeca.
I'm just wondering how they do here & if you keep them differently than you would somewhere else.

Thanks
Tom

Hi Tom,
You might get in touch with Eric Holt. He keeps and breeds Eastern Hermanns in Florida. http://www.empireoftheturtle.com/testudo_hermanni_boettgeri.htm

Super easy, no worries. Though this year did present some problems, it was soooooo cold for animals not used to dealing with that. All is well but breeding / hatching season is at least a month behind where it would have been. Best wishes Douglas
