Western hermann's

Sooz · 11-09-2013, 01:54 AM

Hello everyone!
I'm new on here and hope I'm posting in the correct thread.
Does anyone know of a reputable breeder anywhere in the uk selling western hermann's at all? I'm willing to travel from Scotland.
Any info will be good.

It maybe too far for you, but Babs has some available in a couple of weeks.. She's in Norfolk!!

Thanks for replying. That's good news. The only place I've come across so far is The Tortoise Centre and they deliver next day. Is this a tortoise faux pas? If I have to collect myself they'd be in a box in the car anyway. Would Babs post? Posting seems risky to me as how do you prevent the courier from tossing the box about?

Babs is a very good breeder, I got my 3 from her. A long way for you to travel but she will use a courier.

You could try Chris aka Naturalis i think he might still have some and he is from up your way

Thank you. I think I'm sorted now. Can't wait

There are some good reptile couriers out there, I have used the same guy many times and was £120 for a pick up from Norwich to Aberdeen, it,s over night and worth it as you don't need to drive yourself.

Hi Andy, thanks for that. I couldn't wait a second longer and have bought a yearling thh from The Tortoise Centre. I spent time looking for bad reviews and trawling through any info I could get from them. They were super helpful on the phone too. All breeders recommended dont have any for sale just yet and I couldn't wait. All going well Florence will be here tomorrow before lunch time. Suz x
