Hey all,
Recently my boyfriend and I have been discussing the fact that we would love to get a new turtle or tortoise! I figured I would ask the experts to see if y'all could recommend what the best kind for us to get would be and where we could get one.
We live in North Louisiana and would be interested in building an outdoor (dog-proof) enclosure in our yard. I've had a tortoise before but am by no means an expert, so something a little more beginner-level care would be good for us I think. We have space for about a 4 foot by up to 10 foot long enclosure, with grass and some shade in one end, but we could alter grass/substrate as needed.
What do ya'll think? Any good species fit this plan, or is it unrealistic?
