Care: Hermann’s tortoises are a hardy Mediterranean species that thrive in spacious outdoor enclosures when weather permits. They require strong UVB lighting, a basking area of 90–95°F, cooler areas in the mid-70s, and a diet consisting primarily of grasses, weeds, and leafy greens. Fresh water should always be available, and a calcium supplement should be provided regularly. (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service)

Facts: Native to southern Europe, Hermann’s tortoises are one of the most popular pet tortoise species thanks to their manageable size, curious personality, and long lifespan. With proper care, they can live for over 50 years, making them a lifelong companion. They are active during the day, enjoy exploring, and develop unique personalities over time.
