Baby/young Spur Thighed tortoises also Hermanns, UK captive bred, available in limited numbers.

DEFRA article 10 certificates (In my name) supplied with each tortoise, along with my care sheets. I am reluctant to rehome my tortoises under the age of 3 months of age, therefore most of them will be between the ages of 6 months to 2 years.

Their diet consisting of wild/native plants/weeds from day one, supplemented with Limestone flour and Nutrobol. They are given access to sunlight/outdoors (from birth) when ever possible. I do not recommed vivs, therefore a suitable indoor enclosure must be in place (and shown) beforehand.

First time tortoise owners, could you please do a thorough research on the husbandry requirements of a Mediterranean tortoise before you make enquires. These tortoises also hibernate, and mine have done, from as young as 4 months of age.

Price is from £100.00 each, genuine enquiries only please. Based in Kent, PM me, only if your serious though!

Collection in person, I will not courier my Tortoises.

Photos will follow shortly...T.T.

These are some photos of my Spur Thighed (Iberas) their ages are 11 months and 23 months old...T.T.

Note- When I take photos of my torts, sometimes I spray them with water, hence their appearence. I never have or will use any type of oil for their shells, oiling torts was a thing of the past, it does not have any benefits, quite the reverse

Just to update really, I do not want to mislead anyone...

I am affraid that I do not have any Hermanns tortoises available at the moment.
It is rather early in the season for my tortoises, my Spur thighed tortoises have only just started to hatch first.
As my advert reads, I will not rehome my hatchlings until they are at least 3 months of age, therefore I do not see my Hermanns being available till a lot later in the year.

What I have currently available are several of my spur thigh (Ibera) torts that age from 1 to 2 years, these being the ones in the photos above...T.T.

Thats for the positive comments...

Katiexx, many thanks...your cheque is in the post
