Thank you for all your welcomes. I am from Maidstone kent in the u.k.. I think I’ve got 3 Herman tortoises .... they was given to me from my cousin after his wife sadly past away. I estimate from what information I was given that they are about. 25 years old (ish).

Hi. it started snowing lightly about half an hour ago .....but they have forecast it for us all day and possibly tomorrow. My son is waiting not very patiently for the huge amounts they forecast for us .
yes I keep the tortoises together .....I have 2 females and 1 male....although Henry only fancies one female, he leaves the other one alone. He is very territorial and also very protective of his girl! People often say that tortoises are boring but we don’t find that at all.....in fact they are time wasters as we can’t help sitting watching them for ages.
