Hello! I'm Bubu
I'm very new to tortoises, I don't have one yet but my boyfriend and I are thinking about it. We're just not sure what to get! He want's something that needs a big water area (like a red eared slider, which is a turtle right? Not a tortoise?) and I want one that can roam around my house, like a Russian or similiar. I've been looking at Russians and Sulcattas, I think I'd be better off with a russian, simply because Sulcattas get so big, but like I said we're just not sure yet. I currently live in Michigan but will be moving to Virginia soon, so we can't get anything yet (I have enough pets to transport lol) but I'm really looking forward to having one!
I've been trying to do some research on them, and thus far the only problems and confusion I've encountered is enclosures (how big it should be, what it should be, etc) and heating and lighting. So I hope to find my answers here!
And just a little bit about myself, I have a dog (who I can't take with me unfortunatly ), 3 hermit crabs, 3 guinea pigs, and about 30 or more fish. I like critters
