Jimmy there are a lot of tortoise breeders in Germany and some of them might not be far away.

I suggest caution to say the least in dealing with a private breeder who is selling Hermanns without providing proof of a certificate.

In the UK it's definitely not legal to sell a Hermann without proof that there is a certificate. The seller doesn't hand over the certificate to the buyer but must show that there is one.

It seems doubtful that the situation would be a lot different in Switzerland.
