Hello everyone!!
It's been quite a while since I have given myself the time to go on this site. A lot has changed, it looks great, and there are tonnes of new names
Well it turns out that everyone (including myself) was wrong about Zippy's sex-Zippy is in fact a boy, as is Turbo. I really didn't think that they would display sexual signs and behaviours at this age. They often chase each other around taking turns 'playing the male'. My 7 year old regularly reports 'Mom, they're playing piggy-back again' LOL I need to find these guys a gal.
That brings me to my questions:
At what age or length can Hermann's actually breed? If they are showing sexual signs does that mean that they are ready? I thought that they needed to be closer to seven?
Does anyone live in Canada (Ontario) and know of any reputable breeders? The last tortoise I got was from a guy that got busted for smuggling tons of reptiles across the border DOH! I would love to get a couple of females..
Great to be back!
Cheers!!
