I'm very very excited, I'm going to see a young Hermann's hatchling tonight (10 months old) and hopefully will buy it too!

The breeder sounds absolutely lovely and I'm going to see the tort after work (hence why I can't concentrate)!

This is all thanks to Herriotfan sooo thank you very very much!

Fingers crossed I'll have my very first tortoise by the weekend

Sorry for my excitement!!

I remember it well, we got our 1st tort Willow for Xmas last year, he arrived 2 days late, and had to stay with my brother til Xmas Eve, I had him tortured wanting him to send me pictures and video footage and I sneaked up every chance I got to see him. I'm getting 3 more and still feel very impatient waiting

It is like being a kid waiting for Xmas

I'm feeling very excited for you, let us know how you get on!!

That is the only thing with torts it's some time before you know if it's a he/she lol will you be wanting a unisex name? my daughter has already decided that ours will have a girls name for the time being possibly a unisex name lol x
