Hi
We call her Surf Chick cos she spends a lot of time balancing on her water bowl!

She's a beauty!!

Nice hermanns tortoise, although that bedding could dehydrate he/she.
It is a bedding best suited for rabbits, ferrets, hamsters and other small animals. Not a reptile of this sort. The best bedding, for a hermanns tortoise is a 50/50 mixture of playsand and soil. The soil should be fertilizers, pesticides, stones, and chemical free. The best soil to mix is John Innes, loam based or topping soil. Alternatively you can use bed-a-beast, hemcore or aspen that is used for cornsnakes insteead.

I am not telling you what to do, by far..i am not expert. But i own 2 hermanns tortoises, and have studied them for along time now and know the ins and outs of them.

here are a couple of photos of my babies!

i have a hermann's (matilda) and she's a beauty. we keep her outside the majority of the time (except now in hibernation obviously) other than that she sleeps in the greenhouse. is this ok?
we've had her a long while now and she seems ok with it, but i thought it best to check.
