Red face Hi, newbie from North Yorkshire 🐢

Hi
I'm jo, just acquired my first tort about a month ago, a 2 yr old hermanns called zuma. We live in North Yorkshire (my hubby, 2 boys, 2 cats, a lot of fish, zuma and me) 😊
He/she was bought from a friend of a friend who had lost interest. Zuma seemed quite small for a 2yr old (I'm not a expert but I just thought it would be bigger). Zuma is eating well and seems settled in fine so can't complain.
A lovely new family pet.
I'm totally smitten ❤️🐢❤️🐢

Zuma does look lovely Jo Jo.

I lived in north yorkshire when I was young - Harrogate.

But I migrated to Scotland many years ago.

Welcome to Shelled Warriors!

It's a character from my children's favourite TVs programm, plus I thought it was ironic as tortoises are supposed to be slow. Although I've found out this isn't really the case 😂😂


Thank you all for the lovely welcome messages 😊

Yes I read up before desiring what breed to get, decided Hermanns tortoise for that reason. Although I think it might be the males that are more of a character, I've heard stories of them being romantic with plant pots, slippers and garden gnomes 😂😂😂

Hermanns have great characters. My male Theo has a plastic cactus he likes to get romantic with. He becomes very vocal, usually when we have visitors!

I'm sure you'll enjoy watching Zuma as he matures.
