The Hermann's Tortoise is amongst the most popular Tortoise species, due to their relatively small adult size, ease of care and ease of breeding. All specimens available in the United Kingdom are now captive bred due to strict import rules. When purchasing a Hermann's Tortoise you should be given official documents stating the origin, and ownership details of the particular tortoise. Although the Hermann's can be a communal species, breeding males need to be watched for aggressive behaviour, and as a result we recommend that they should be kept singularly.
