Description
Hello. I have over 25 years experience breeding and raising Hermann’s tortoises. I have been selling tortoises online for over 16 years under the name of ‘Hermtort’. I offer free advice for the rest of your tortoise’s life.
These babies are half Eastern Hermanns and half Western Hermanns. I was gifted a Male Western Hermanns and he mated with one of my Eastern Hermanns females. The babies produced by this female look more like Western Hermanns than Eastern Hermanns.
I have included some photos of my pure Eastern tortoises for you to compare to the Eastern / Western tortoise genetic mix. My pure Eastern babies also vary somewhat - and I have shown you that some can have more dark on their shells and some are more yellow. The pure Eastern tortoises are also for sale. They are also advertised on this website, in a separate advert. They are the same price.
Compared to my Eastern Hermanns babies the shells of these babies have a brighter yellow shell with more markings. They also have more bright yellow markings / scales on their legs and usually have more pale faces / lighter skin.
Western Hermanns do not grow as large as Eastern Hermanns. Western Hermanns are often referred to as ‘Dwarf Hermanns’. As these tortoises for sale are a mix between the two, it is likely that they will also have a smaller maximum size.
The Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) class these babies as Hermanns tortoises and do not differentiate between the two main Hermanns populations (The Eastern and Western populations).
These babies have had a perfect start to life with a varied weed diet and the correct humidity and UVB lighting.
If you would like any more photos or information, just let me know. And if you need any advice on equipment and care, feel free to contact me.
I am easy to get to. I am in a village on the outskirts of High Wycombe - which is just off junction 3 of the M40.
Just a note: I have seen someone online say they are a ‘licensed breeder’ of tortoises. There is no such thing as a ‘licensed breeder’ of tortoises. If a tortoise is classified as endangered, then the adult breeding male, and female, that created the hatchlings, must have paperwork and be registered - but no person can be a ‘licensed breeder’ of tortoises. As well as this, Hermanns tortoise hatchlings no longer need paperwork, as the legislation changed this year.
