Hi all

Am pulling together plans to hibernate my two and a half year old Hermann who is in good health and gains weight steadily but found that the Jackson ratio graphs don't go down to a small enough length to reliably calculate her ratio for hibernation.

Any advice for me?

Send me your full email address and I will send you a copy of a smaller one. Bear in mind though that it only applies to correctly grown torts and not those with thickened shells or with flat shells due to incorrect feeding.
Hope this helps.

I was beginning to worry about hibernating her as she is just below 85mm. I would rather she had as 'natural' a life style as possible, but it's quite nerve racking.
