My two are both males, I have been flashed far too many times for them to be anything else. I personally wouldn't add a tortoise with another through my experiance but there are many people here who do have tortoises together with no problem. I think getting one of a similar age is a good idea, as sandy said, my have a large age gap, and the previous owner didn't know much about toroises so they weren't treated well before I got them, but as jahred said, make sure you have a back up home just incase they don't get along. I spent an absolute fortune having to panic buy a second house, food bowl, water bowl etc.

What about mixing species? I saw a lovely marginated one for sale at the weekend. if my husband hadnt been there I would have bought it.

I don't know why keep saying that. Why not just agree that a Testudo Hermanni Hermanni can be called a Dwarf Hermann?

I have 2 Hermanns but they are both different sub species. They are about the same size. They get on after a fashion. If one of them is silly I seperate them. mostly they get on but I have to keep an eye on it. I will seperate them for good if I have too. however this would not be so popular with my family who like to see them together
