Just wanted to introduce myself, my name is Fern. I've been doing lots of research on the forum for a few weeks now to make sure I raise a healthy tort. I'm planning on getting a tortoise sometime in the next few months, a Mediterranean breed, just haven't decided which one yet. I just want something that stays around 12" or less.
I live in northeast USA, Rhode island to be exact. I am working on building an outdoor pen, and for its indoor enclosure, I've found some great trays at my local hydroponics shop. Tall sides and much bigger than a 50gal rubbermaid tote. I have also thought about building something but I'm concerned about using wood and having it rot from moist substrate and misting. I just haven't decided what I'm going to do for the indoor enclosure.
So to all of you mediterranean tort lovers, which of them is the hardiest, has a good personality,
and coolest looking in terms of shell markings?
