Summer Thoughts

[HermanniChris]

While covered in snow here in NJ I began looking through my photos from this past summer to put me in a better state of mind...

Here are a few shots of my T. hermanni hermanni from Majorca, Spain outside on a bright and sunny day. Can't wait to get them back out into their pens!

They are beautiful, i just love the contrast and the rich colouring of testudo hermanni hermannis.

Hehe, the one on the right in the plastron pic looks headless. The other one is doing what I've known every turtle/tortoise to do when you flip them - stare at you as if to say "I know where you sleep!"

Very nice summer will be here soon

Beautiful torts. I was just outside enjoying my torts when I came in for a little lunch. I'm actually just finishing Daisy's new outdoor pen. She'll move outside permanently this spring. I don't know how you folks from cold weather states do it. I just couldn't live that way. I go nuts if its too cold for a week or two here to put the babies out. I can't imagine five or six months of that.

Thanks everyone

Believe me I have thought about moving south many many times, just too much holding me here at this point in my life. Maybe someday!

Your torts look great, Chris! Looking forward to seeing some of your others!

Summer seems so far off with another ft. of snow coming tonight,but it's coming..I tried the moving South thing back in 91'. Wasn't for me then but looking at Aldabs really has me thinking.

well, those are all three beautiful hermanns, but i absolutely LOVE the patterns on the first one!

 

[HermanniChris]

Thanks again!

They are stunning animals, the group consists of 11 animals, in the photos 8 different ones are shown.

Very nice Chris!

I had the fortunate experience of seeing Hermanni Hermanni from Majorca. They are very neat, beautiful, and unique tortoises. A friend of mine has had a group for around 20 years. They still retain a brilliant color, pattern, and size!

Wow!! They really are stunning!!
Nelson and I can't wait for summer either I need to get out of Chicago!!

 

[HermanniChris]

Thanks once again!

Oh yeah we got hit here at the beach with plenty of snow AGAIN.

Gummybear, are you talking about Bob's hermanni? I believe his are from Menorca, they are a bit larger there with darker skin. He sent me photos of his not too long ago.
