Hi, my name is Cole. I'm new to Tortoise Forum and I'm about to purchase my first tortoise(s). I live in central Kentucky, and my tortoise(s) will be kept indoors. Here's what I need help with: I've narrowed the species of tortoise I'm getting down to two species, Eastern and Western Hermann's. My ultimate goal is to breed my tortoises, and hatch eggs and have baby tortoises. So here's my dilemma, if I buy a Western Hermann because of the expensive cost of them I can only purchase one tortoise and it would be a baby, then in about 6 months I could buy a second Western Hermann. If I buy Eastern Hermann's I can buy 3 or 4 baby tortoises, or 2 young adult tortoises. I don't need any advice on breeding or keeping my tortoises, I'm just looking for some opinions on what I should do purchase wise. Any advice on this topic would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading this, hopefully you reply and help me out, thanks!!
