Peter as i have said on the other thread WELL DONE for bringing this up again else these tortoises might have been hibernated with awful results, you stick to your guns and believed they were not hermanns.

I'm locking this, the thread you posted this on at the other forum was locked so you have come here for an argument instead and pasted what you posted over there. You will not be getting the argument here either I'm afraid. If you have a problem with this PM me.
