Buyer’s Checklist: How to Choose a Quality Hermann’s Tortoise

If you’re searching for a personable, long‑lived reptile, the Eastern Hermann’s delivers—responsive to routine and eager to explore. Each hatchling is feeding, hydrated, and hand‑inspected before shipping—backed by our live‑arrival guarantee and lifetime care guidance. Offer a humid hide for babies (60–70% relative humidity) while keeping the main enclosure dry and clean. Feed primarily weeds and broad‑leaf greens; limit fruit and avoid high‑protein foods entirely. Eastern Hermann’s thrive when routines are predictable: lights on a timer, fresh greens each morning, and regular outdoor sun when weather allows. Buyers love their bright eyes, active foraging, and the way they learn enclosure landmarks—these tortoises are clever.
