Hermanns Tortoise

*CITES – Photo ID included

A small species of tortoise reaching 6-8 inches, although larger individuals are possible.

Habitat:These tortoises require good ventilation, so an open topped enclosure (also known as a tortoise table) is recommended. A minimum size table of 4 x 2 x 2 ft is required.

Heating:Hermanns tortoises require temperatures in the mid 20’s (Celsius), and a hotspot of 30-32 degrees Celsius. A nighttime drop in temperature to 18-20 degrees is recommended.

Lighting:This species of tortoise requires a 12% UVB bulb when used in an open table. This should be turned off at night to ensure the tortoise gets an appropriate day/night cycle.

Humidity: 40-60%.

Diet:This species is herbivorous, and their diet consists primarily of weeds (dandelion greens, etc.) and mixed greens. Commercial grass based tortoise foods are also available.

Lifespan: 80+ years.
