It would be interesting to know if there are any books specifically on Marginated's. I have quite a few books now & they get the odd mention but not a lot of info - maybe time for a new post.

My copy of this book arrived today and I have not been able to put it down.
The book is very well organised, easy to read and understand and the pictures, they will just blow you away. My outdoor tortoise enclosure is getting a serious makeover in spring! So far i've only read the Hbernation chapter in full and it's very interesting to know what the tortoises body is doing this time. I've actually decided to wake my tortoises up today based on information i've gained from the book (my temps have been quite mild). Only thing I don't like about the book is that it contains a few too many graphic photos of dead tortoises. I'm not usually squeamish but the photo of the roadkill tort really made me feel sad. Otherwise this book is a fantastic read and is worth it's weight in gold for any serious Hermanns keeper.

Dont despair Bindi I did exactly the same, Amazon USA, cheapest postage & was quoted delivery by 23rd Feb but it arrived yesterday, (think I ordered it on the 10th) so fingers crossed yours will be there soon too.

I'm sooo getting this book too. I have an ibera so thinking the same lines as Bindi. I have Ed's book but it's time to expand my tort library. Shame there is no kindle version of it x
