HI I'm new here! I am looking for a lot of advice on getting a Hermann tortoise! I want to make sure I know everything about them and how to properly care for them before I get one! If you could leave me any helpful information that would be so cool!

Hello and welcome

Please do read the Hermann's Care Guide linked to above.

Also this Beginner Mistakes one
http://www.tortoiseforum.org/threads/beginner-mistakes.45180/

They will help you to get things set up perfectly for your new tort.

Please pay especial attention to the parts about space requirements, lighting and humidity. Reading those will save you from making expensive mistakes

Also, don't buy pet store food bowls. A terracotta plant saucer for water and a flat slate or rock for food are safer and the food rock helps with beak maintenance

Please ask questions before you buy. We're happy to answer them
