Gordon of course comes very highly recommended and is prepared to travel.
Lynn, aka Burnt Toast, is in the Midlands but I have no idea if she is breeding to sell, but there's never any harm in asking.
I can personally recommend Helen, Helsbels, as I've had three from her, but she's in Southampton so perhaps too far.
Good luck finding your first tort.

Hermanni hermanni are quite hard to get hold of, especially females.
They are more scarce than most hermans, and can be more difficult to breed.
Hence keepers try for females and keep them.
There are a few breeders around, but their hatchlings are always in demand.

I got my little Hermanns from a lady in Warwickshire. She doesn't breed the smallest species of Hermanns, but if you want her details I should be able to find them for you.
She gave me fantastic advice and support before and after getting my tortoise.

Hi There I'm very interested to give my tortoise a friend so wondered if you could tell me What the cost is approximately

I do believe my tort is a herman' he has a nail like toe at the end of his tail which i think says hes a male.
We was given the tort by friends because they couldn't be bothered with him'which is a crying shame as he so cute and still vary small at about 6 or 7 inches from nose to tail.
Hes currently in a vivarium like enclosure which I'm not a fan of to be honest'But as soon as the temp get warmer i want to make him an outside enclosure so he can Rome around but with boundaries and roof to keep him safe.
I'm learning as i go but get confused with all the heaters and so on' Is it a good idea to turn the heat off now to acclimatise him ready for the outside world ? hes in the bedroom which gets very warm as does the rest of the house

Thanks in advance guys really looking forward to some assistance here
