Bathing his tortoises must be a nightmare with them all bobbing around like rubber ducks. Dont even get me started on his theory that "hibernation is not a real care option, just the alternative to death on the first freezing night of winter" Pure comedy gold.

I know I've banged on a bit on this thread but "Hermanns Tortoise, Boettger's and Dalmatian tortoises" by Holger Vetter (2006) is a brilliant book and I've just noticed at the back that he is also the author of a book on Leopard's and Suculta's and one on Red and Yellow foot Tortoises. If they are anywhere near as good as the Hermann's book, buy one.You won't be disappointed.

Richard Cary paull and his series of books are of interest, but I have to say, that they are naive in their production, and quite quirky in text. He know doubt has a lot of experience, with Chelonia in captivity, but for my money, I think that there are other books I would purchase instead of this series.
Having said that, I think I have bought all he has published.
Have you got Turtles of the World, by Bonin,Devaux & Dupre?
