Differences between Hermanni Boettgeri and Hermanni Hermanni
Hello All
Hope you have had a good weekend I know the Hermanni Hermanni are smaller and rare to find compared to the Boettgeri BUT Are there any main differences in terms of their care between the two - is one easier to care for than the other? etc.... Many Thanks |

Some folk think the smaller hermanni are a bit delicate. The basic needs are all the same as Boettgeri. The hermanni are certainly smaller but personally I don't think their husbandry is different.

There are some great photos that compare the subspecies in the identification section of this forum.
