I have recently bought two hermanns, from different breeders. One is 2yrs and the other is 12 months. At the moment I am enjoying getting back into tortoise keeping and finding out more and more about how to keep them properly. This is what I intend to keep my priorities as, however I have a question for the distant future. (more curiosity at the mo)

I have one hermanni b. and one hermanni h. At the moment (although I know it is ar too early to know for sure) an educated guess says that the hermanni h is male and the hermanni b is female. If this is true, will they ever be able to breed - or because they are different sub species are they not able to breed? What would they look like if they did breed?
