So I went today to pick up the Hermanns that Wendy (Glitch) had offered for adoption. It was an hour drive to get there then an Hour and a half back (Dallas traffic), but the little guy made it thru with no problems. After a warm soak and then some softened Mazuri he has settled in nicely.

Thanks again Wendy, she gave me a lot of extra stuff and a great tort table...

He is gorgeous! I'm like an excited child every time I see a Hermann's, and I think that one is the same age as Emrys? I'll be following any updates you do! :)

He is about 2 1/2 years old and so far he has settled in pretty good...

Yep, about the same age as Emrys. So much darker in his markings, though! :)

Glad he's settling in well.

I think he was mainely a inside tortoise, I am sure he will lighten up once he gets to spend some time outside. Once we predator proof his outside enclosure I am sure he will enjoy all the space he will be getting..

Nice looking tortoise, I also like the color patterns on the shell.

Oh boy he's gorgeous! In fact he looks very much like my Hermanni, Queenie. After Survivor I'll send you a pix of her...

PS I am so glad you went and saved him...

This little guy is very territorial, if we place our hand in his enclosure he comes running full speed then stops a few inches away. He's super sweet though, he lets me rub his head. :D

It turns out I don't have any full body shots, all of these show what a dainty ladylike eater she is. So tomorrow I will take some better shots of her for you.

I think I'll create a whole thread tomorrow just to show how beautiful Queenie is...
