New daughter just arrived!

[Terry Allan Hall]

Just got a package from Underground Reptiles, with my latest female Eastern Hermanns in it.

Suggestions for names? Poll has a few I'm considering, but feel free to offer up others.

 

[jeffbens0n]

How about Harriet? Harriet the Hermann!

 

[DixieParadise]

I was going to suggest Cadence or Kaydence. It would let me vote other, but not give a name suggestion.

 

[Fernando]

Very nice looking Hermanns!

 

[Terry Allan Hall]

Hmmm...well, as of 4:51pm (Tejas-time), "Hermione" is in the lead...

 

[Fernando]

Let's go Odelia!

 

[Terry Allan Hall]

Let's go Odelia!

Actually, I meant to put it as "Ophelia"... oooooops 4 my clumsy fingers!

Guess all the names that get votes will be saved for future females, as I plan to eventually have several female Hermann's tortoises in my herd.

Wonder how many females a male can "service" before I have to get him a prescription for Cialis...

 

[Fernando]

awwwww...that's okay. Odelia can work too. Second highest votes.

Highest vote goes to name this one.

2nd highest voted will be the name of the next Hermann's-babe (#3)

 

[dmarcus]

I voted Odelia, no reason why just like it..

 

[Fernando]

I voted Odelia, no reason why just like it..

Yah!

 

[dmarcus]

Yah!

I voted this morning when the poll came out, and i just now posted a comment so it's is still running at 2 votes...

 

[Terry Allan Hall]

Kinda thought a few of the other names would've gotten a vote or two, as well...but time will tell.

 

[ticothetort2]

Voted other, will have to think of a good name. Great looking tort though!

 

[Fernando]

We might have to a tie breaker!

 

[Terry Allan Hall]

We might have to a tie breaker!

Or....I might just have to find ANOTHER female Hermann's ASAP!

Just thinking outside the box, peeps...

 

[GBtortoises]

From one addict to another: Choice "B" is the way to go (find another female ASAP)!

My wife just now rolled her eyes muttering something about "enablers"...

Actually, I spoke w/ Underground Reptiles yesterday, telling them how pleased I was w/ this new one, and to please let me know when they got in some more young adult (4-5") females...this was the only one they had, as of Monday...lots of males, though (which is currently the case at many places).

Last fall, when I started to looking seriously, there were so many dealers, w/ a glut of males, that one told me that if I was interested, he'd sell me 10 @ $35 per and cover the shipping. May go for that offer come about November, if he still has that many by then, as I'm pretty sure I could move 9 males as X-mas pets, make a reasonable profit and still keep the best one as my stud, judging from how many folks asked me where they could get their own Hermann's after seeing Jennifer eat treats from my fingers at educational programs one of the local reptile clubs have.

Color me jealous! I want my own herd of Hermanns. Soon. Very soon...

 

[Terry Allan Hall]

Hmmmm...Ophelia is in the lead (my wife's preference, too)...

Color me jealous! I want my own herd of Hermanns. Soon. Very soon...

You need a herd of Hermann's torts, Tom...the sulcatas are good practice for experiencing a friendly and massively personable tortoise, but w/ Testudo hermanni ssp. you can avoid the hernia possibilities...
