Hi everyone!
Can a red-footed tortoise and a Hermann's tortoise be kept together? I know that mediterranean tortoises like basking more than red-foots, but I don't think this would be a problem in a big enough enclosure. I also know that red-foots like more humidity, but a 70% humidity level seems good for both species. What concerns me the most are parasites, as they are from different continents, though I read that mainly wild caught tortoises have parasites, and of course I'm talking about captive-bred animals.
